The fender bender on southbound 35W at County Road I has cleared, and the mainline system is back to being accident free.
It's congestion that will bog down the drive, but not severely. Look for some crowding on northbound 35W from County Road 42 up to 98th Street.
It's also crowded on eastbound 94 from Hwy. 101 to the Fish Lake Interchange.
Surprisingly, southbound Hwy. 100 and 169 from 694 to the Crosstown is flowing quite well at this time of the morning. It's 14 to 16 minutes on either route.
The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
