6 a.m. update: Current travel times

Northstar trains are running on the outbound track between Elk River and Ramsey, so there could be a few delay. The first inbound run was pretty much on time, so let's keep our fingers crossed that all trips will follow that.

On the roads, no crowds yet around the new outlet mall that opens today at Hwy. 13 and Cedar Avenue. And no crowds on the roads anywhere really as traffic is moving footloose and fancy free.
