The good news is that the crash that had been blocking the left lane on the eastbound Crosstown at Gleason Road has been pushed off to the right shoulder and all lanes are open.
The bad news is that traffic is jammed in the area from Hwy. 169 over to Tracy Avenue. That will take about 15 minutes.
On northbound 35W, the wreck north of Black Dog Road is gone, but look for congestion from Cliff Road up to the Minnesota River bridge.
The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
