The early portion of the rush hour was wicked for commuters on northbound 35W where four separate crashes kept traffic tangled up for nearly an hour.

As we wrap up, an earlier crash in 694 westbound at East River Road has cleared, but the mess remains in place with traffic creeping along from Long Lake Road. That's a couple miles!

In Brooklyn Park, the two left lanes of northbound County 81 are blocked with a semitrailer truck crash.

Traffic is flowing nicely on eastbound 94 now that a stall at Franklin Avenue has been pushed out of the way.
