Motorists will want to look out for a wreck on northbound Hwy. 61 just south of I-94.

Traffic on westbound 94 is thick from Hwy. 61 all the way over to downtown St. Paul. Drivers heading to Minneapolis can plan on a 20 minute commute.

The hotspot of the morning is on eastbound 94 at Zane Avenue in Brooklyn Park. A vehicle off in the right ditch has drivers slowing to take a look. Plan on 15 minutes from Hemlock Lane to get past the scene.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is heavy from County Road 81 to 94 and bunches up again near Rockford Road.

There is a solid line of traffic on northbound Cedar Avenue from 35E up to Crosstown.

The Crosstown is starting to see slowdowns in each direction from 28th Avenue to Penn Avenue.
