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

A hardy traffic jam has formed on westbound 94 thanks to that multi-car mishap at Lexington Avenue. Everything has been moved to the right, but that has not helped the traffic flow much. Things come to a grind just past John Ireland Blvd.

Elsewhere we have only small pockets of congestion. You'll find them in places such as eastbound 94 from Olson Hwy. to 35W and eastbound Hwy. 10 from Anoka to Round Lake Blvd.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is tight from 93rd Avenue down to Bass Lake Road. An earlier crash at 63rd Avenue is partly to blame.
