It's been a much better commute today with only a handful of crashes and the usual congestion. A few things are still slowing things down as we end the rush hour.

It's still a 20-minute drive on northbound 35W from Diamond Lake Road to downtown Minneapolis.

On southbound 35E, it's 12 minutes from 694 to downtown St. Paul.

On westbound 494, it's 18 minutes from 24th Avenue to Hwy. 100.

It's also heavy on northbound 35E from Shepard Road to 94.

Look for a wreck on eastbound Hwy. 36 at Fairview Avenue.
