Traffic volumes are dropping on some routes, but we still have a number of hot spots. Westbound Hwy. 36 is sluggish from 35E to 35W due to a crash at Dale Street and an earlier mishap at Fairview Avenue.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is moving slow from Hwy. 610 to 77th Avenue in Brooklyn Park. A vehicle slid into the ditch at County Road 81.

I-94 struggles through Minneapolis in both directions between the Lowry Hill Tunnel and Cretin. Eastbound has two fender benders at Cretin and Huron Blvd.

Westbound Crosstown is tight from Penn Avenue past wrecks at Hwy. 100 and Tracy Avenue.

Look for brake lights on northbound 169 at Bren Road. A crash resides on the right shoulder.
