Commuters on westbound 494 can't catch a break. Just as a wreck at France Avenue cleared, a new one took its place at Lyndale Avenue. Plan on 20 minutes from Hwy. 5 over to Flying Cloud Drive.

Eastbound sputters from West Bush Lake Road over to Cedar Avenue. That drive is 12 to 15 minutes.

In Blaine and Spring Lake Park, look for continuing delays on southbound Hwy. 65 from 117th Avenue to Hwy. 10. That's due to construction that begins at Hwy. 10 and has the highway closed down to Medtronic Pkwy.

Other crashes causing minor delays are on eastbound Hwy. 36 at Arcade Street and southbound 494 at Bass Lake Road.
