A fresh left lane blocking crash is the reason for the sudden traffic jam on northbound 35W. The wreck is at Cliff Road with traffic stacking up at Hwy. 13. Plan on 28 minutes to reach downtown Minneapolis.

Traffic on 494 in both directions has slowed below the posted speeds. It's 8 to 12 minutes in either direction between Hwy. 169 and 35W.

The Crosstown is not flowing much better with 12 to 15 minutes in either direction between Hwy. 169 and Cedar Avenue. Look for a stalled blocking the left lane on the eastbound side at Tracy Avenue.
