Commuters on southbound 35W in the north metro are enjoying a near congestion-free drive from Lake Drive down to Hwy. 280. It is busy, but moving much better than on normal days. It's only 12 minutes to make that trip.

In Bloomington, drivers will encounter a pocket of slow traffic on northbound 35W at Cliff Road. Meanwhile, look for some slowing on northbound 35E approaching downtown St. Paul.

All lanes on eastbound 94 at 101st Avenue in Maple Grove are back open following a motorcycle crash earlier this morning. Traffic is still heavy from Hwy. 241 down to Elm Creek Pkwy.

Looks like the State Patrol has caught up with the bicyclists riding along southbound 94 at 53rd Avenue in Brooklyn Center.
