Icy conditions on ramps and bridges are leading to a number of accidents this morning.

The worst traffic is on southbound 35W due to a crash at 694. Adding to the mess is some hay littering the lanes.

A couple of wrecks at the intersection of 694 and Hwy. 100. The ramps are slippery.

In the south metro, look for vehicles that slipped off the road on westbound Hwy. 55 at Hwy. 5. That's affecting the ramp to Hiawatha Avenue.

A stalled vehicle is blocking the right lane of Hwy. 52 at Plato Blvd. The stack up begins at Eaton.
