Overnight road work has lifted on northbound Hwy. 169 at County Road 18 and on I-494 along the Bloomington Strip. All lanes on both roads are now open.
Traffic is moving well through those areas.
Elsewhere traffic levels are building on southbound 35W from Lake Drive to I-694, but no big delays are being reported.
Southbound 494 from 94 to 394 is a trip you can make in a matter of minutes.
The one hotspot is on eastbound 94 near Monticello where there is a crash near Hwy. 25. Ahead things are tight over to Albertville due to overnight road work that ran long. All lanes are open.
