A weekend repaving project has wrapped up on southbound Hwy. 169 between County Road 81 and Hwy. 55. All lanes are back open and drivers are enjoying a smoother ride.

Traffic levels on 169 are building, but still moving fairly well. That's the story elsewhere on the system at this hour. Motorists will encounter minor slow downs in the work zones on 694, 35E and Hwy. 36, but nothing that will set them back any significant amount of time.

We are crash and incident free at this hour.
