The drive on 494 in Bloomington it turning into a tough commute. The latest hassle is a crash on westbound 494 at Nicollet Avenue blocking the left lane. Delays begin at Cedar Avenue.

Ahead, you'll find a stall partially blocking the right lane at West Bush Lake Road.

Traffic is tight on the eastbound side from Hwy. 100 to 35W due to an earlier crash at Penn Avenue.

In the north metro, westbound 694 traffic is near a standstill due to a crash at Hwy. 252 in the left lane. Brake lights come on at Central Avenue.
