An unexpected work project on Hwy. 169 Tuesday led to a log jam, but today all lanes are open. All overnight road work has wrapped up and things from I-94 to 394 are flowing smoothly this morning.

Traffic levels are building on 694 through the work zone from East River Road and Hwy. 252. You can expect that to change as the rush hour rolls along.

We have no problems in the south metro yet through the work zone on 35E from County Road 42 to Cedar Avenue. That didn't create any major delays on Tuesday. Let's see what today brings.

In Bloomington, a reminder that France Ave North and Southbound ramps closed to 494 Eastbound until mid-to-late June as part of the 494 improvement project.
