7:10 a.m. update: Gridlock on 35W in Bloomington, Hwy. 101 in Rogers

A crash blocking the left lane at 98th Street on northbound 35W has traffic at a dead stop at Hwy. 13. We also have a fender bender in the back up around 106th Street. This is adding copious amounts of time to the drive. Cedar Avenue is moving much better.

To the south, northbound 35 through Lakeville all bound up from 195th Street through the construction zone up to County Road 50.

In Rogers, Hwy. 101 is at a dead stop at County Road 36. Traffic lights are out at Diamond Lake Road. It's a dashpounding wait in that back up.

In Fridley, emergency workers are on the scene of a rollover and vehicle fire on East River Road or St. Anthony Pkwy. near the Camden Bridge. It's unclear exactly where this incident is unfolding.

The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
