Drivers in the south metro are having few problems this morning. Even normally crowded routes such as westbound 494 between Cedar Avenue and Hwy. 100 are moving well.

One exception is westbound 494 between Concord Street and Dodd Road. That is slow with speeds around 20 to 30 miles per hour.

A new crash just reported on the ramp from northbound 35W to Diamond Lake Road. That's not impacting traffic on 35W.

Metro Transit says only a handful of routes are running behind schedule, and trains are running on time. Route 68 has returned to normal service. The weather-related detour at California has been cancelled.
