A stall blocking the left lane and is slowing traffic on eastbound 694 just past Hwy. 252. Give yourself a couple extra minutes to get past the scene.

The stall on southbound 494 at 49th Avenue is gone, but traffic is extremely tight from the Fish Lake Interchange down to 394. That is a 15 minute drive.

Traffic is heavy on eastbound I-94 from Hwy. 101 to 494. Brake lights come on at Weaver Lake Road. It's 20 minutes from Rogers to Maple Grove.

Southbound 35W is heavy as usual. It's 17 minutes from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280. Up ahead, look for minor congestion on 35 down to University Avenue.

Look for tight traffic on southbound 35E from 694 to 94. That is about 12 minutes. Westbound 94 is slow from Mounds Blvd. to 35E.

In the south, levels are building on northbound Cedar Avenue. No big delays, but the heavy traffic is adding a couple of extra minutes to the drive.
