The north metro continues to struggle with wet roads, congestion and crashes slowing the commute.

Southbound 35E is creeping along from County Road 14 to 694, a 20-minute trip.

Southbound 35W isn't much faster with 25 minutes needed from Lexington Avenue to Hwy. 280.

Westbound 610 is like a parking lot from Hwy. 10 to Hwy. 252. Blame it on a crash on the ramp to Hwy. 252 and another up ahead on southbound 252 at 85th Avenue.

It's heavy traffic on eastbound 94 making for a 25-minute drive from Hwy. 101 to 494 through Rogers and Maple Grove.

A new crash just reported on westbound 94 at Cretin has a lane blocked. That won't take long to jam up traffic.
