Crashes on I-35W at County C and County I have cleared, but traffic is very slow to loosen up. Plan on a long slow trek from Blaine to downtown Minneapolis.
Southbound Hwy. 169 is still a frustrating drive, but there are some breaks in the congestion between I-94 and Medicine Lake Road. That's were the knot is still in place.
Westbound 494 is fighting congestion from Hwy. 5 to Hwy. 100. Look for a crash at Cedar Avenue.
