The big backup on southbound Hwy. 169 in Champlin can be attributed to a traffic light outage at 120th Avenue. Reports say traffic stacks up to the Mississippi River bridge in Anoka.
Elsewhere a number of crashes and heavy traffic is making for a slow trudge to the office.
Here are the trouble spots in terms of crashes at this hour:
Southbound 35W at County Road 23 in Lino Lakes and ahead at Hwy. 88 in Roseville.
Northbound 35W in the HOT lane at Hwy. 13 in Burnsville.
