No crashes on the system, but we do have congestion on I-694 in both directions between Central Avenue and 35E. Plan on 17 minutes to make that trip.

Westbound 494 is packed from Hwy. 5 over to Hwy. 169. That is a 22-minute drive.

A crash involving a school bus is partially blocking the ramp from eastbound 394 at Xenia Avenue.

No issues of note in the east metro.

In the south metro, a few slow downs on northbound Cedar Avenue, but nothing that will cost you much time.
