5:50 a.m. update: A fine start on the road

Traffic on Hwy. 10 from Elk River through Anoka and Coon Rapids is moving swiftly at this hour. That is a corridor that might see extra vehicles today as many of those who normally ride the Northstar line will likely be driving or carpooling.

Traffic on Hwy. 10 from Elk River through Anoka and Coon Rapids is moving swiftly at this hour. That is a corridor that might see extra vehicles today as many of those who normally ride the Northstar line will likely be driving or carpooling.

Metro Transit called off Northstar service after a freight train derailed around 2:15 a.m. and blocked the tracks between Elk River and Ramsey.

Nothing cooking on the roads in terms of accidents or overnight road work. It's all clear at this hour.
