7:55 a.m. update: Nice travel times

Traffic is sailing along on most major routes as lighter than normal levels are making for a nice commute. The exception is on westbound 494 which is tight from Cedar Avenue to Hwy. 100. That is 15 minutes.

Look out for some tire parts in the lanes on eastbound 694 at Shingle Creek Pkwy. in Brooklyn Center. We also have a crash in the intersection of eastbound Rockford Road and 494.
