So much for an easier commute today. A major slowdown has developed on 35W southbound from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280. Projected travel time is 35 minutes.

That's affecting the drive on westbound Hwy. 36 where it's 20 minutes from Hwy. 61 to 35W.

The big incident is in downtown Minneapolis where northbound 94 is stacked up due to a crash just past 394. Only one lane open. The jam begins back at Groveland Avenue.

In the north metro, plan on 32 minutes from Hwy. 101 to 494 heading east on 94 through Rogers and Maple Grove.
