A stalled vehicle on the right shoulder on westbound 494 at Penn Avenue is adding to congestion in Bloomington. It's 23 minutes from Hwy. 5 to Hwy. 100.

That is about the only trouble spot on the system at this hour.

Drivers on southbound 35W will experience a brief delay from Hwy. 10 to Hwy. 280. Still, that is a drive you can make in 10 minutes or less.

Westbound 94 was headache yesterday. Today, dry roads are making for a smooth commute. It's only 12 minutes from 694 to Hwy. 280.

Look for some slowing on westbound Crosstown from 35W to Hwy. 100.
