Commuters are hitting the brakes on westbound 694 at Silver Lake Road due to lane restrictions in place ahead from Central Avenue to Hwy. 252. It's all due to road work.

Look out for a stall sitting on the right shoulder of southbound Hwy. 169 at 7th Street in Hopkins.

The usual beatdown is in place on southbound 35W from Lake Drive down to 694. That is 15 minutes.

And on eastbound 94, speeds are around 35 miles per hour from Hwy. 101 to the 494/94/694 split in Maple Grove. That's making for a 15-minute trip.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
