No problems yet for commuters who are heading through the construction zone on I-35E. The freeway is down to two lanes for southbound drivers between Little Canada Road and Maryland Avenue. That is a change from yesterday, and one that will be in place until fall.
No problems yet on southbound I-494, Hwy. 169 or Hwy. 100 in the west metro, but traffic volumes will start picking up on the next 10 to 20 minutes. That's when we can expect to see delays and congestion.
Here are some current travel times:
North metro
Southbound 35W from 95th Avenue to downtown Minneapolis: 15 minutes
Southbound 35E from County 96 to I-94: 10 minutes.
Eastbound Hwy. 10 from Hwy. 169 to 35W: 12 minutes
Westbound 694 from 35E to Hwy. 252: 10 minutes. Eastbound is 10 minutes.
