The fender bender on westbound 494 at Portland Avenue is gone, but a nice delay remains in its wake. Plan on 18 minutes from Hwy. 5 over to Hwy. 100.

You'll find minor delays on westbound 494 from Hwy. 212 over to 35W. That is about 7 minutes.

Things are building on northbound 35W from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis. That is 8 minutes.

Plan on 10 minutes on northbound 169 from County Road 18 up to 494.

On southbound 35W, things are flowing slowly from Hwy. 10 down to Hwy. 280. Plan on 12 minutes for that drive.

A few pockets of slow traffic on eastbound 394 is making for a 10 minute drive from Hwy. 169 over to 94.

Roads in downtown Wayzata remain closed as authorities work to clear a train vs. street sweeper accident at Grove Lane and Ferndale Road.
