For the time being, the mainline highways and freeways are crash free, but there are some big time delays to contend with.
For starters, commtuers on westbound 494 can plan on nearly 30 minutes from Dodd Road over to Hwy. 100. An earlier wreck at Lyndale Avenue gummed things up and it's just not improving.
On eastbound 394, the normal 10 minute trip from 494 to downtown Minneapolis is 19 minutes at this hour. Heavy traffic from Louisiana Avenue into downtown Minneapolis.
Both southbound Hwy. 169 and Hwy. 100 are dragging from I-94 down to 394, with pockets of slow traffic to be expected down to the Crosstown.
Travel times are still high on southbound 35W from the Forest Lake Split to downtown Minneapolis. That running at 44 minutes. Southbound 35E is 26 minutes from County H2 to downtown St. Paul.
Even the Northstar is running late. Trip 4 inbound is 14 minutes late due to freight traffic, Metro Transit says.
