Monday has turned into an active rush hour, and that is never good news for commuters. Above, this semi lost some of its load on eastbound Hwy. 55 between Sioux Trail and County Road 101. Drivers are swerving aorund a big plank on the right shoulder.

Commuters on southbound Hwy. 169 are caught in a big traffic jam. A wreck at I-94 has the left lane blocked. The resulting delay is 5 to 7 minutes with the lineup forming around 93rd Avenue in Brooklyn Park.

Look for a new wreck on westbound 94 at Radio Drive in Woodbury.

There's also word of a crash on northbound Hwy. 61 in the vicinity of Jamaica Avenue in Cottage Grove.
