A pair of wrecks have traffic snarled on southbound 169. Look for flashing lights at Hwy. 55 and up ahead at Hwy. 7. Things slow down begin at Medicine Lake Road.

The Crosstown continues to struggle. A wreck is still blocking the right shoulder eastbound at 43rd Avenue. Earlier incidents have left slow traffic from 169 to 35W in both directions. Not so good westbound from 55 to 35W either. 494 might be a better alternate.

Look for a vehicle in the ditch on southbound 35E at Roselawn Av. Plan on 15 minutes from 694 to 94.

Northbound Cedar Avenue and 35W are running about 11 minutes from the Minnesota River to the Crosstown.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
