The Minnesota Department of Transportation now says it has no estimated time for when the investigation into the crash and shooting that has 694 shut down in both directions between 35W and 35E. That closure has created a traffic nightmare for north metro commuters as both 35W and Hwy. 36 have absorbed extra traffic.

Elsewhere we have crashes that are bogging down the drive, too:

  • Two crashes on the northbound side of 35W at 694
  • Northbound 35W at Cliff Road in Burnsville
  • Northbound Hwy. 169 at Anderson Lakes Pkwy.
  • Westbound 94 at Hwy. 52. Look for a jam starting at McKnight Road
  • Southbound ramp from County 96 to 35E
