8:20 a.m. update: Crashes tying up traffic on Hwy. 169, I-94

The fire is out, but the stalled school bus on the ramp from westbound 94 to Hennepin/Lyndale Avenues is causing traffic to cram as far back as Riverside Avenue. Plan on adding 6 extra minutes to the drive in downtown Minneapolis.

The fire is out, but the stalled school bus on the ramp from westbound 94 to Hennepin/Lyndale Avenues is causing traffic to cram as far back as Riverside Avenue. Plan on adding 6 extra minutes to the drive in downtown Minneapolis.

On southbound Hwy. 169, it's 18 minutes from I-94 down to I-394. The hangup is a crash at Plymouth Avenue that has moved to the right shoulder.

The owner of an ATV left in the left lanes of westbound I-94 between County 81 and Brockton Lane in Maple Grove has returned to the scene to claim it. I bet this time he will make sure it is tightly secured.
