With major delays on northbound Cedar Avenue due to an eight-vehicle wreck on the Minnesota River Bridge, many are trying alternate routes. The result is congestion on northbound Hwy. 55. Traffic slows to 15 miles per hour at the Mendota Bridge.

Northbound 35W is heavy from Burnsville Pkwy. to 494. That's about 15 minutes.

A new crash is complicating the drive on southbound 35W. Look for the right shoulder crash at Broadway Street. The left shoulder is blocked at County Road E2. It's about 26 minutes from Hwy. 10 to Stinson Blvd.

Debris is blocking the left lane on eastbound 94 at Hwy. 252. A patrolman is on the scene.
