We wrap up the rush hour in good shape with only a few places where there is minor congestion.
Look for some tight traffic on westbound Crosstown from 28th Avenue to 35W
It's also heavy on westbound 494 from Cedar Avenue to Hwy. 100.
You'll need a couple extra minutes on westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to 35W. Things there have improved from earlier this morning when that was taking up to 30 minutes.
I'll be back tomorrow with more live blogging of the morning rush hour. Make it a good day on the roads.
The Drive will keep you up to speed with the latest on Twin Cities commuting.
