A crash on westbound Crosstown has been there for more than an hour. Subsequently, traffic has been tight in the area ever since. It's plugged up from Penn Avenue over to Hwy. 100.

Southbound 35E should start to loosen a bit now that a wreck at Maryland Avenue has cleared. We still have two vehicles on the right shoulder at Roselawn. It's 10 minutes from 694 to 94.

Travel times on southbound 35W into downtown Minneapolis is dropping fast. It's not only 11 minutes from Hwy. 36 down to 94.

Look out for the tire treads littering the lanes on westbound 494 near Hardman Avenue in Newport.
