The multi-vehicle wreck that snarled traffic on westbound 694 at Hwy. 252 has been cleared, and traffic is getting back to normal.

ANd southbound 35W is looking better now that a pair of accidents at County 96 have cleared out. Things are moving much better.

Look for a backup on westbound 494 due to a crash between Penn and 35W. It's plugged up beginning at 12th Avenue.

On eastbound 494, look for a left-shoulder blocking crash at Dodd Road.
