The Crosstown is flowing nicely this morning with only 9 minutes needed in either direction between Cedar Avenue and Hwy. 169.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is not quite as pleasant. A crash on the right shoulder at Medicine Lake Road has just cleared out, but traffic stacked up to near Bass Lake Road and is slow to get back to normal.

You'll find the normal plug up on northbound 35W at Cliff Road, but ahead things move rather well from 98th Street up to 494. It's 20 minutes to downtown Minneapolis.
