Good morning, commuters!

It's been a good couple of months for motorists who use northbound Hwy. 169 in the southwest metro as traffic has zipped along with minimal delays thanks to an extra lane across the Bloomington Ferry bridge. Starting today, the highway is back to its original configuration, so we'll see if the good run continues.

The Bloomington Ferry bridge isn't the only bridge operating with reduced lanes this morning. The Kellogg Blvd. bridge in St. Paul is closed until 6 a.m. When it opens, traffic will be restricted to the inside lanes as the bridge last week was deemed structrually deficient. It is safe to use, city officials have said.

Construction is taking out the right lane on eastbound 94 at Huron Blvd. That's nothing new as commuters have dealt with that for the past week or so. The right lane will be closed until 3 p.m. daily all week.

All is flowing freely across the system at this hour. Make it a good day.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.
