A painfully slow late rush hour

Crashes littering the system have cleared for the most part, but the effects are still with us. That's evident on southbound Hwy. 100 where its 45 minutes from 694 to Hwy. 62.

Crashes littering the system have cleared for the most part, but the effects are still with us. That's evident on southbound Hwy. 100 where its 45 minutes from 694 to Hwy. 62.

Drivers are inching along on the Crosstown in both directions between Hwy. 169 and Cedar Avenue.

I-494 is not much better as there is plenty of traffic there.

The worst still is on Hwy. 169 northbound from Anderson Lakes Parkway to Valley View Road. That is still 25 minutes.
