Traffic is at a standstill on eastbound 94 from 101st Avenue past a crash near the Maple Grove Rest Area. A crash and debris is blocking the left lane. Expect a big wait and 15 minutes or more coming down from the Crow River.

Elsewhere, we have only the ususal pockets of congestion on westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to 35W and westbound 94 from White Bear Avenue to downtown St. Paul to deal with.

Look for building levels on northbound Cedar Avenue and 35W in the south metro. Those routes are still moving pretty well.

Surprisingly, the stall in the left lane/shoulder of northbound Hwy. 169 on the Bloomington Ferry Bridge is not having a negative impact on traffic. Things are flowing smoothly up to 494.
