The overnight lane restrictions on northbound Hwy. 169 at Hwy. 101 and on I-494 in both directions through Bloomington have lifted, and all lanes are open.

That's allowing traffic to sail through those areas at this hour.

In the northwest metro, levels are starting to build on eastbound 94 between Albertville and Rogers.

Look for a brief slow up on eastbound 694 entering the work zone at Hwy 252.

Southbound 35W is looking good at this hour, but I expect that to start filling in within the next 10 to 15 minutes.
