The drive on westbound 694 is becoming uncomfortable between I-35E and Hwy. 252. Plan on 20 minutes to reach Hwy. 252. Eastbound begins to stack up at Silver Lake Road.

On eastbound 94, traffic is thick from 101st Avenue to the Fish Lake interchange in Maple Grove. You'll need 20 minutes from Rogers to Maple Grove.

Road work is causing delays on westbound 94 from Woodbury Drive to Century Avenue in St. Paul. Plan on an extra 7 minutes there. Look for a disabled truck on the left shoulder at County Road 13.

As usual, both directions of 494 along the Bloomington Strip is packed. It's 15 to 18 minutes between Hwy. 169 to Cedar Avenue.
