Good morning, commuters!

The day begins with a little road work and two crashes on the system.

MnDOT is still doing some work in the right lane of westbound I-94 at the Fish Lake Interchange in Maple Grove. Scoot over to the left and give the workers some room.

Eastbound 94 has pockets of congestion around another work zone. That is at the Hwy. 241/Crow River area. Things also are busy approaching Elm Creek Blvd.

On Hwy. 610 at Hwy. 169, you'll see some flashing lights as police are still on the scene of an earlier crash.

We've also got crash action on southbound Hwy. 280 at Energy Park Drive in the left lane. That's not causing any traffic delays, yet.

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.
