Two lanes of westbound 494 remain closed at Flying Cloud Drive as authorities work to clear a multi-vehicle crash.

Elsewhere, southbound Hwy. 100 is unusually heavy with 30 minutes needed from 94 down to Hwy. 7.

I-494 is congested in both directions from Hwy. 100 all the way over to the Minnesota RIver. On westbound 494, look for a spinout at France Avenue.

The drive on northbound 35 continues to struggle. While better than an hour ago, it's still a 30 minute drive from County 2 to 494.

Southbound 35E remains jammed from County 14 to downtown St. Paul. That's nearly 30 to 40 minutes.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020.
