The usual slow down is now in place on westbound I-494 from Lyndale Avenue to Hwy. 100. That drive is now at 15 minutes.

On northbound 35W, plan on 17 minutes from the Burnsville Split up to the Crosstown.

Traffic is starting to shake loose on southbound 35E from 694 to 94. Things had been tight due to an earlier crash at Maryland Avenue. Give yourself 10 minutes from 694 to 94.

It's 13 minutes from 95th Avenue down to Hwy. 280 on southbound 35W.

In Eden Prairie, northbound Hwy. 169 is quickly filling in from County Road 18 to 494. Plan on 10 minutes there.

On westbound 94, traffic slows at Hwy. 61 over to Marion Street. It's 14 minutes from 694 into downtown.

Look for building levels on I-694 in both directions from 35E to 35W.
