A wreck on the left shoulder of westbound 494 at 35E is creating headaches for drivers as far back as Woodbury. The slow stuff begins at Lake Road and continues past the scene. Another crash on the left shoulder at Carver Avenue is adding to the slow downs. Plan on 40 minutes from Valley Creek Drive to 35E.

A wreck on the left shoulder of westbound 494 at 35E is creating headaches for drivers as far back as Woodbury. The slow stuff begins at Lake Road and continues past the scene. Another crash on the left shoulder at Carver Avenue is adding to the slow downs. Plan on 40 minutes from Valley Creek Drive to 35E.

On the Crosstown, it's 18 minutes from Shady Oak Road to 35W thanks to a crash in the left lane at France Avenue.

Our other crashes have cleared out, but look for lots of bumper to bumper traffic on northbound 35W from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis. It's the same case on westbound 94 from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis.
