The slow downs on southbound Hwy. 65 through Ham Lake and Blaine are starting to develop with road closure now in place. The highway is closed at Hwy. 10 and lane restrictions in place at 93rd Avenue. Traffic stacks up at 99th Avenue, and we can expect that line to grow as the rush goes on.
Elsewhere, not a hint of congestion yet. No crashes either. Here are some current travel times:

Southbound 35W from 95th Avenue to downtown Minneapolis: 16 minutes
