A Metro Transit spokesman tells the Drive that the fifth and final inbound Northstar Train will depart Big Lake on time. That means the train would leave the station at 7:21 a.m.

A frozen switch in Big Lake was given for the reason for the delay on the first inbound run. The second and third runs also were tardy.

The rollover on southbound 494 at Lake Road in Woodbury has cleared out. All lanes are back open, but it will take a few minutes for thing to get rolling again.

On southbound 35W, prepare for a delay approaching County I where a crash is on the bottom of the ramp. Ahead, thing jam up again near Johnson Street where two motorists are exchanging information and examining the damage caused in a crash.

Southbound Hwy. 252 just past Hwy. 610 is dealing with a crash. An earlier spinout on westbound Hwy. 610 on the Mississippi River bridge has cleared, but traffic is heavy in the area.

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.
