7 a.m. update: Big slowdown developing on 35W

An accident blocking the left shoulder on southbound 35W at Broadway Street is causing a big traffic jam. Things slow starting at Stinson Blvd.

Up in Lino Lakes, things are busy from 95th Avenue to County R2 E2 in New Brighton/Arden Hills. Plan on 20 minutes from Hwy. 10 to downtown Minneapolis.

A Metro Transit bus has been towed out of the way on westbound 94 at Huron Blvd. Be on the lookout for a bit of slowing in the area.

You'll need to tap the brakes on southbound Hwy. 169 at Bass Lake Road. There's a stall at the bottom of the entrance ramp that is leading to gwaker slowdowns.

And a for drivers looking to get on Hwy. 10 in the northwest metro, the crossing gates are stuck in the down position at Sunfish Lake and Ramsey boulevards. The best option is to head over to Armstrong Blvd.

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

I-94 in Minneapolis down for the weekend; 35W closing Sunday

It's only appropriate that Saturday serves up the St. Paul Summer Beer Festival at the State Fairgrounds because with two freeways in Minneapolis shut down and a host of other road-construction roadblocks on the calendar, a drink might be in order, just not while driving.
