7:25 a.m. update: Plugging up on 94 in north metro

By Tim Harlow

July 12, 2013 — 5:50am

Get ready to hit the brakes if you are heading east on 94 through Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. It's a solid line of traffic that is creeping along from Brooklyn Blvd. over to the work zone that starts at Hwy. 252.

Westbound 694 drivers will hit the snag at University Avenue.

Watch out for the traffic that is stopped on the ramps from Hwy 280 to Energy Park Drive, due to a train passing thru on Energy Park Drive.

We have a crash blocking the right lane on northbound 494 at Valley Creek Road in Woodbury.

The Crosstown is getting busy, especially eastbound from Tracy Avenue over to Penn Avenue.

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