A big headache for drivers on eastbound 494 in Bloomington. A pair of wrecks has created a big bottleneck. The crashes are at Hwy. 169 and West Bush Lake Road.

On westbound 494 from 34th Avenue to Hwy. 100 the drive is about 17 minutes.

The biggest delays remain in the north metro:

On southbound 35W from Lexington Avenue to Hwy. 280, 28 minutes. A wreck at County Road I on the left shoulder is not helping matters.

On eastbound 94 from Hwy. 101 to 494 is 28 minutes. In Minneapolis look for a stalled vehicle on the left shoulder at 53rd Avenue.

On westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to Fairview is 14 minutes.
