Problems abound for mid-rush hour commuters congestion and ill-timed accidents have traffic plugged up on a number of routes.

Among the trouble spots:

  • Crash on southbound 35W at County Road 96
  • Eastbound 494 jammed Flying Cloud Drive past France Avenue. Stalled dump truck on bottom of ramp France to east 494.
  • Southbound Hwy. 252 has a wreck at 81st Avenue. Traffic jams at Hwy. 610.
  • Northbound Hwy. 61 closed for the next 2 hours at I-494. Semi rolled over and has all lanes blocked. Traffic is being diverted to eastbound 494. The backup starts at 80th Street in Cottage Grove
  • Eastbound 94 comes to a halt a 101st Avenue in Maple Grove. Three vehicles are involved in a crash at Maple Grove Pkwy.
  • Crosstown has finally bid adieu to the wreck at Lyndale Avenue, but eastbound traffic creeps along from Hwy. 169 to 35W.
