Rockford Road is closed at Vicksburg Lane in Plymouth where crews from several departments are battling an apartment fire.

In Robbinsdale, Rockford Road between Broadway and County 81 is expected to open today now that a sinkhole has been repaired.

Elsewhere, overnight road work has lifted on 494 in Bloomington and things are moving smoothly through there.
