All lanes are now open on 494 in Bloomington now that overnight road work has wrapped up. Traffic is flowing freely between Hwy. 169 and Cedar Avenue.

All lanes on southbound 169 at 63rd Avenue are back open too, as overnight work has cleared.

Get ready for some big closures on 169 starting this weekend. The southbound lanes of Hwy. 169 between 77th Avenue and Hwy. 55 will close from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 p.m. Monday. That's this weekend and the next three. I'll have more on that later this week.

For now, Hwy. 169 in both directions is moving at a nice pace between Crosstown and 394. You'll find a bit of congestion on southbound 169 from 94 down to Bass Lake Road.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
