A crash blocking the left lane of eastbound Hwy. 212 has traffic stacked up beginning at Hwy. 101. Plan on 15 minutes to reach 494.

A spinout is blocking the right lane on westbound 94 at Mounds Blvd. in St. Paul.

A new wreck is reported to be blocking the right shoulder at Hwy. 100 in Bloomington.

The award for the toughest drive goes to the Crosstown. Earlier crashes and spinouts have left heavy traffic in their wake. It's still 20 minutes in both directions from 169 to Hwy. 55.

A wreck on 169 at Hwy. 7 has cleared, but things are still slow from Medicine Lake Road to the Crosstown. That is a 17-minute trip.
