This is kind of small potatoes, but it won't be if you are the one to hit a ladder that is lying in the lanes of southbound 694 at Stillwater Blvd. in Oakdale.

The bigger issue at the moment is the slowness on westbound 94. A crash at Hwy. 61 is snarling traffic from White Bear Avenue past the scene.

Watch for a stall on the ramp from Hwy. 13 to northbound 35W in Burnsville.
