A crash on northbound 169 at County Road 18 is leading to a 13-minute drive from the scene to 494.

The drive between Minneapolis and St. Paul on 94 in both directions is not too bad. It's 12 minutes.

The Crosstown continues to struggle. Wrecks and stalls at 28th Avenue, 43rd Avenue and Tracy Avenue is leading to a 24-minute drive in both directions between 169 and Hwy. 55.

On southbound 169, look for a crash at Hwy. 7. Traffic is stacked up to 394. A new wreck reported at Hwy. 55.

Things on southbound 35E are improving. It's 15 minutes from County Road 96 to downtown St. Paul. An earlier wreck at County 96 is the culprit there.

494 is tight in both directions between Cedar Avenue and Hwy. 100. Look for a 12 minute drive.
