7:05 a.m. update: Still sputtering on 694

A pair wrecks on westbound 694, one at Central Avenue and one at University Avenue, have cleared, but traffic remains tight from Silver Lake Road over to Hwy. 100. Plan on 5 to 8 extra minutes there.

A pair wrecks on westbound 694, one at Central Avenue and one at University Avenue, have cleared, but traffic remains tight from Silver Lake Road over to Hwy. 100. Plan on 5 to 8 extra minutes there.

Westbound Hwy. 610 is packed from Hwy. 10 to Hwy. 252. That might be due to ramp closures on 694 at Central and Hwy. 252. Hwy. 610 is the prescribed detour.

Both southbound 494 and 169 are busy with 20 minutes from 94 to 394.

Westbound Hwy. 36 is jammed from Edgerton Street to 35W. A crash at Lexington Avenue is hampering the drive.

Eastbound 94 comes to a crawl at Broadway in Minneapolis and things don't loosen until you reach 35W.

Westbound 94 is crammed from 694 to downtown St. Paul with 20 minutes needed there.

Northbound 35W is slow from 66th Street to downtown Minneapolis. In Bloomington, look for a left-lane wreck blocking at Hwy. 13.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
