Commuters on westbound Crosstown are spending extra time in their vehicles. Things are tight from Cedar Avenue over to Hwy. 100. That is 17 to 20 minutes. Eastbound moving much better.

Southbound 169 has a pocket of thick traffic from 36th Avenue down to Hwy. 7. Northbound moves close to the posed along that stretch.

Westbound 94 shows no mercy for those in a hurry. It's packed from White Bear Avenue over to Hwy. 280, a 30-minute trek.

Tim Harlow covers traffic and transportation issues in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and likes to get out of the office, even during rush hour. He also covers the suburbs in northern Hennepin and all of Anoka counties, plus breaking news and weather.
