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

The drive had turned nasty for commuters on westbound 694 as a crash at Hwy. 252 has traffic jammed as far back as I-35E. This is turning into a huge delay, so brace yourself.

It's also tight on eastbound Crosstown from Shady Oak Road over to Hwy. 100. A wreck taking out the left lane at Tracy Avenue is responsible. A new crash at Shady Oak Road is adding to the misery.

Look out for a fresh fender bender on northbound 35W at 28th Street in Minneapolis.

In St. Paul, a stall is blocking the right lane of southbound 35E at St. Clair.
