6:10 a.m. update: Traffic volumes starting to pick up

Commuters on southbound 35W will find lots of company in the vicinity of 95th Avenue in Blaine. We've also got a broken down vehicle on the right shoulder in the area. Plan on 24 minutes to reach downtown St. Paul.

Commuters on southbound 35W will find lots of company in the vicinity of 95th Avenue in Blaine. We've also got a broken down vehicle on the right shoulder in the area. Plan on 24 minutes to reach downtown St. Paul.

Eastbound 94 is flowing well, but levels are picking up between Hwy. 241 and Hwy. 101 in Rogers. Speeds drop just a tad approaching Weaver Lake Road. Plan on 20 minutes from Weaver Lake Road to downtown Minneapolis via I-94.

Westbound 94 from Woodbury to downtown St. Paul looks lovely. It's just an 11-minute drive.

Northbound Cedar Avenue and 35W are looking fine, too. No issues on northbound 169 at this hour, either.
