A crash on eastbound 494 at Xerxes Avenue has been moved to the right shoulder, but that is not helping anything. Traffic comes to a standstill at West Bush Lake Road, so plan on 15 minutes to get through there.

A new crash was just reported on eastbound 394 at General Mills Blvd. Traffic remains sluggish from the scene all they way to downtown Minneapolis.

In the east metro, a wreck in the left lane on westbound Hwy. 36 at 35E is creating a nice jam up.

Meanwhile, the crash on westbound 694 at Hamline Avenue has cleared, but things are still crammed past the scene and into the work zone.

Southbound 35W continues to struggle from Lake Drive to 694. Eastbound and westbound Hwy. 10 are plagued with a crash at Hwy. 65.
