For a brief time, we are accident, spinout and incident free, but that is not leading to a faster commute.

For a brief time, we are accident, spinout and incident free, but that is not leading to a faster commute.

Heavy traffic is making for a slow drive on eastbound 94 from Hwy. 101 to 494. That is 20 minutes right now.

It's like gridlock conditions on eastbound Hwy. 10 from Round Lake Blvd. to Hanson Blvd. You'll need 20 minutes to reach 35W.

On southbound 35W, it's 18 minutes from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280.

Traffic is tight on southbound 35E from Hwy. 36 to downtown St. Paul, with a few extra minutes needed there.
