Be ready to jump on the brakes if you are heading north on I-35 approaching Crystal Lake Road. A crash has moved to the right shoulder, but traffic does bunch up approaching the scene.

Ahead, look for a minor mishap near 82nd Street in Bloomington.

An accident is the reason for the plug up on eastbound 494 in Bloomington. The mishap is in the vicinity of West Bush Lake Road.

In the northeast metro, southbound 35E and westbound 694 through Little Canada, Vadnais Heights and Gem Lake are both packed and moving much slower than usual. The delays on 35E begin at County J and on westbound 694 they kick in at McKnight Road.

Things are looking much better on eastbound 94 from Hwy. 241 to Hwy. 101. Look for heavy conditions from there down to Brockton Lane before speeds pick up again.
