A new accident on the left shoulder is causing slow downs on eastbound I-94 in Maple Grove. Look for activity at Elm Creek Blvd. with delays beginning at 95th Avenue.

Westbound Hwy. 36 is jammed from Dale Street to 35W due to a crash on the right shoulder at Cleveland Avenue. You will need 10 minutes from 35E to 35W.

On southbound 35W, plan on 20 minutes from 95th Avenue down to Hwy. 280.

I-94 in both directions between Minneapolis and St. Paul is flowing nicely, Look for a little congestion approaching Hwy. 280.

Northbound 35W bunches up around Black Dog Road but loosens up at 98th Street. No delays reported on northbound Cedar Avenue at this hour.

Eastbound 394 looks good, as does eastbound Hwy. 212 through Eden Prairie.

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