Traffic is crawling through Champlin due to a crash on southbound Hwy. 169 at 109th Avenue. Things are also tight ahead from 77th Avenue down to Medicine Lake Road.
Cedar Avenue has lane and ramp closures on the southbound lanes near the Mall of America as police respond to a motorcycle crash.
And look out for a cardboard box "as big as a small car" in the left lane of southbound Hwy. 100 at Excelsior Blvd. That was how the scanner call described the box.
