The problems are definitely in the north metro this morning.

I'm starting to see some improvement on westbound 694. The crash at Hwy. 252 is out of the way and the delay is down to about 15 minutes from 35W to Shingle Creek Pkwy.

Look for slow traffic on southbound 35W from Lake Drive to 694. A pair of wrecks at County 96 and Hwy. 10 have clogged things up. Looks like they are about clear.

The left shoulder is blocked on eastbound 494 at Dodd Road.
