7:45 a.m. update: Trouble off the mainline on Pilot Knob Road

By Tim Harlow

January 18, 2013 — 5:35am

Word comes that an accident on northbound Pilot Knob Road just south of County Road 42 has the road down to one lane and has traffic backed up 1 mile.

Northbound 35E is congested from 494 to the Minnesota River. That will cost you 6 minutes.

Westbound 494 is slow from Hwy. 5 to Penn Avenue. That's 12 minutes.

The biggest delay on the system is on southbound Hwy. 169. A crash at 394 has the left lane blocked. Plan on 30 minutes from 694 down to 394.

The crash on westbound 36 at Hwy. 280 has been moved to the right shoulder. Things are still stacked up back to Dale Street. Plan on 15 minutes.

Crosstown is busy eastbound from Penn to 35W (10 minutes) and westbound from 28th Avenue to 35W (7 minutes).

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