Southbound Hwy. 169 is quite packed from 42nd Avenue down to Crosstown. That drive will take 20 to 25 minutes.

Traffic is tight on westbound 494 from 34th Avenue to Hwy. 169. That drive will cost you about 20 minutes.

As usual, it's busy on westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to 35W. That is 15 minutes.

On southbound 35W, it's 22 minutes from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280.

Northbound 35W is 15 minutes from 35E to Crosstown. Ahead, it's 11 minutes from Crosstown to 94.

Both east and west 94 between the downtowns are flowing along nicely. That will take about 10 minutes.
