Our spate of crashes has slowed and most of the early morning wrecks have cleared. But they have left slow traffic in their wake.

It's 33 minutes from Hwy. 101 to 694 for drivers on eastbound 94 from Rogers to Maple Grove.

It's about the same for drivers on westbound 94 from the St. Croix River bridge to downtown St. Paul.

On southbound 35W, plan on 30 minutes from Lexington Avenue to Hwy. 280. It's also slow on westbound Hwy. 36 with 18 minutes needed from Hwy. 61 to Fairview Avenue.

Things have plugged up nicely on Cedar Avenue northbound. It's 15 minutes from County Road 38 to the Mall of America.

On southbound 169, you'll need 23 minutes to get from 94 to Hwy. 7.

The two right lanes of eastbound Hwy. 13 are blocked at Portland Avenue with a multi-vehicle wreck.
