The rush hour is off to a smooth start with few delays and no incidents on the roads.

One place where traffic starting to bunch up is on southbound 35W from County Road I to I-694. Still, the trip from County I to downtown Minneapolis will only take 16 minutes.

Look for a little bit of a squeeze on southbound 94 approaching the Lowry Hill Tunnel.

I-494 in both directions is starting to tighten up between Hwy. 100 and Cedar Avenue. That will only cost you a couple extra minutes at this hour.

Eastbound 94 is filling in from Hwy. 101 in Rogers to 494 in Maple Grove. That's a 15-minute drive at present.
