Early road work on both sides of the Mendota Bridge has both eastbound and westbound reduced to a single lane. That configuration will be in place until 6 p.m., the Minnesota Department of Transportation says.

This morning, it is creating a big traffic snarl on westbound Hwy. 110 and Hwy. 55. Plan on an extra 5 to 8 minutes between 494 and the Crosstown.
