It is a tedious drive on northbound 35E from Yankee Doodle Road to downtown St. Paul. That trip is costing you 30 minutes, even though we have no crashes on that stretch.

Southbound 169 struggles from 109th Avenue past a wreck at 85th Avenue in Brooklyn Park. Things remain tight down to Hwy. 55. Plan on 25 minutes.

Bridge decks are icy. A motorist found that to be true on southbound Hwy. 169 on the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. A car flipped over and landed on its roof. Two other vehicles are involved in the mishap.

Northbound 169 from Canterbury Road to 494 is 16 minutes.
