Traffic levels are lighter than normal for this time of the rush hour in most locations, but there are a few areas that are congested.

Among them is westbound 494 at Lyndale Avenue. A semitrailer truck that had been blocking the center lane has been pushed out of the way, but it's still slow from Cedar Avenue to Hwy. 100.

Traffic is tight on northbound 169 from Excelsior Blvd. to 394. Give yourself a few extra minutes there.

Drivers in northbound 35E will experience some slowing approaching VIctoria Street.

Look for some slowing on Hiawatha Avenue from 36th Street to downtown Minneapolis, and on eastbound 394 from Hwy. 100 to 394. The crash at 394 and 94 has cleared.
