A semitrailer truck caught fire on the ramp from Century Avenue/Hwy. 120 to westbound I-694 in White Bear Lake. Crews are on the way to the scene.

In Eden Prairie, look for two lanes to be blocked on eastbound I-494 at Flying Cloud Drive. Expect delays from Valley View Road.

Also in the area, the State Patrol is helping two motorists who collided on the ramp from eastbound 494 to southbound Hwy. 169.

In Minneapolis, traffic is sluggish from Franklin Avenue into downtown due to some action near Hiawatha Avenue.
