Only two real issues on the roads at this hour. One is a crash invovling a motorcycle on westbound 94 on the ramp to northbound Hwy. 252.
The big problem is the traffic jam that has formed on southbound Hwy. 65 through Ham Lake and Blaine. The highway is closed at County 10 and lane restrictions in place at 93rd Avenue. Traffic stacks up at 99th Avenue, and we can expect that line to grow as the rush goes on.
Here are some current travel times:
North metro
Southbound 35W from 95th Avenue to downtown Minneapolis: 16 minutes
Southbound 35E from County J to I-94: 10 minutes.
Eastbound Hwy. 10 from Hwy. 169 to 35W: 12 minutes
Westbound 694 from 35E to Hwy. 252: 10 minutes. Eastbound is 10 minutes.
