7:30 a.m. update: Current drive times

Look for lots of activity on southbound 35W and westbound Hwy. 36 approaching Hwy. 280. The State Patrol and MnDOT are working to remove a deer from the median. Word is the doe is alive even after taking two shots to the head. Needless to say, that's creating quite a traffic log in the area.
