As we move into the final hour of the rush, the roads have gotten busy and active. Here is a current list of crashes, which naturally are leading to slow conditions, and in some cases, stopped traffic:
Eastbound Hwy. 212 at Prairie Cnter Drive in Eden Prairie.
Eastbound 94 at 101st Avenue and another ahead at Hemlock Lane in Maple Grove.
Westbound 94 at Manning Avenue in Woodbury
Eastbound 94 at Victoria Street. Traffic stacked up at Hwy. 280.
Northbound 35W at Univeristy Avenue. Look for a long slow ride of 15 to 18 minutes from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis.
The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
