The ramp from northbound 35W to eastbound 494 is closed for construction, and it will stay that way until mid-August.

Drivers on southbound 35W will find debris blocking the center and left lane at Hwy. 13 in Burnsville.

In the north metro, things are starting to fill in on southbound 35W from Hwy. 10 to 694. It's not horrible yet, but expect congestion to thicken in the next few minutes.

Other major routes still are flowing at or near the posted speeds at this hour.
