Our usual congestion on westbound 494 is in place. Give yourself 13 minutes from the Minnesota River to reach 35W.

Look for a piece of carpet in the lanes on westbound 494 at Dodd Road.

Southbound 35W is bunching up from St. Anthony Blvd. to Hennepin Avenue. Give yourself a couple extra minutes.

It's 10 minutes on southbound 35W from Hwy. 10 down to Hwy. 280. So not a bad drive at all.

Southbound Hwy. 100 slows just a bit in the vicinity of 36th Avenue.

Northbound 35W has a pocket of congestion from County Road 42 to the Minnesota River.
