An accident on the left shoulder of eastbound 494 at East Bush Lake Road has traffic coming to a crawl starting at West Bush Lake Road. Ahead, things are sluggish all the way over to I-35W.

Westbound drivers will be caught in heavy traffic from 12th Avenue over to France Avenue. Plan on 15 minutes.

Highway 169 is looking pretty good considering it is reduced to a single lane from Crosstown to Hwy. 7 in both directions. Today, that drive is only 10 minutes.

Prepare for a brief delay on northbound 35W due to a stall at 37th Street. It's 12 minutes from Crosstown to 26th Street.
