Traffic is quickly jamming up on southbound Hwy. 169 with two incidents. A stall is blocking the right shoulder at Plymouth Avenue. A second stall was just pushed out of the way at Hwy. 55. Now there is word of a fender bender at Medicine Lake Road.

Look for a 10 minute drive from Rockford Road down to 394.

A stalled semitrailer truck is blocking the merge lane on from County Road J to southbound 35W.

Southbound 35W is moving quite nicely compared to normal. It's 11 minutes from County J to Hwy. 280.

Westbound 36 is the slowest route of the morning. An earlier crash at Fairview is gone, but the residual backup is leading to a 25 minute drive from Hwy. 61 to Hwy. 280.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
