The morning rush hour is off to a quiet start, and that's always good news for commuters. We have only a few places where congestion is kicking in.

Those places include southbound 35W from Lake Drive to 694 in the Mounds View/Shoreview area, eastbound 94 approaching the Lowry Hill Tunnel in Minneapolis, and southbound 35W approaching Maryland Avenue in St. Paul.

Overall, delays are minimal, so you'll encounter few hassles on the drive to work or school.
