Both directions of the Crosstown between Hwy. 169 and 35W are moving much better today compared with earlier this week. You'll only find on and off delays, making the drive only 15 to 18 minutes.

In Oakdale, southbound 694 tightens at Stillwater Blvd. and remains that way past 10th Street where there is a crash affecting the left lane.

Northbound Hwy. 169 will feel the squeeze from County Road 18 up to 494. Plan on 12 to 15 minutes there.

On southbound 35W, the squeeze is on from 95th Avenue to 694 and again from Johnson Pkwy. to Hennepin Avenue. Plan on 35 minutes from 95th Avenue to downtown Minneapolis.
