6:35 a.m. update: Bunching up on 169

A stalled vehicle on the right shoulder of southbound Hwy. 169 is all it is taking to cause traffic to bunch up. Look for the slow down approaching 36th Avenue N. in New Hope. Ahead, things look just fine.

No problems for drivers commuting north from Shakopee and points south. Traffic moves along a a good pace with only a minor slow down approaching 494. That is a 7 minute trip from County 18 up to 494.

There is a traffic stop on the northbound lanes of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge, but it doesn't seem to be impacting traffic.
