The combination of dry roads and light volumes of traffic are making for a smooth commute for most drivers.

Even congestion prone areas such as 35W in Shoreview and 35E from 694 to 94 are moving well.

The drive on westbound 94 from Woodbury to Hwy. 280 is humming right along without delays.

In Bloomington, 494 is packed between Cedar Avenue and Hwy. 100. That will cost you 15 minutes.

And on northbound 35W, plan on 15 minutes from County Road 42 to 494. A crash is off to the right shoulder at 110th Street.

The crash on eastbound 94 at County Road 81 has cleared. Traffic bunches up at Hwy. 169, but that will loosen in the next few minutes.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
