The usual slow down on westbound 494 is in place from Cedar Avenue over to Hwy. 100. Plan on 15 minutes there.

In the north metro, 694 is crammed from Central Avenue to 35E. Plan on 15 to 20 minutes to get through there.

On southbound 35W, it's 17 minutes from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280.

Look for some tight pockets of traffic on southbound Hwy. 169 from Bass Lake Road down to 394. That is 12 to 15 minutes.

On the Crosstown, westbound traffic is moving along about 30 miles per hour from 28th Avenue over to Hwy. 100. Eastbound has stop and go traffic from Hwy. 169 over to Penn Avenue.
