If you are just heading out, plan on a longer than normal drive to the office or school. Rain and congestion has traffic running below the posted speeds on most mainline routes.

We also have several crashes that are bogging things down. Here is where you'll run into trouble:

Northbound I-35 at County 60 in Lakeville
Northbound I-35E at Deerwood Drive in Eagan
Eastbound Crosstown at Gleason Road in Edina and ahead at Lyndale Avenue in Richfield
Southbound I-35W at County Road 96 in Arden Hills

Road work on westbound 94 at Hwy. 101 has traffic down to a single lane and stacked up to 101st Avenue in Maple Grove.
