The State Patrol is handling a trio of crashes on the eastbound/southbound lanes of 694 in White Bear Lake and Oakdale.
The good news is that the mishaps at Century Avenue, Hwy. 36 and Hwy. 5 are not causing any huge delays.
Over on southbound Hwy. 169, we have no crashes but lots of congestion. Things are putzing along from 77th Avenue in Brooklyn Park down to I-394. Plan on 30 minutes from I-94 down to the Crosstown.
Southbound 494 plugs up at 49th Avenue. That's due to the road work in the area. Congestion loosens south of Carlson Pkwy. Northbound has some hiccups from Rockford Road up to the Fish Lake Interchange.
