With lighter levels of traffic due to it being Friday, drivers on northbound Hwy. 169 are experiencing only minor delays through the work zone from County Road 18 across the Bloomington Ferry Bridge.

Unlike earlier this week, eastbound Hwy. 13 is moving very well. No big backups or issues heading through Savage and Burnsville.

Over on northbound 35W, things are heavy from County Road 42 up to 98th Street, but that will only set you back a few minutes.

Eastbound 694 is still jammed through the work zone from roughly Xerxes Avenue to University Avenue. That is an extra 5 minutes.

Westbound Crosstown has pockets of slow and go traffic from Hwy. 100 to 35W. Meanwhile, eastbound 394 is humming right along with the only slow down of note approaching Penn Avenue.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
