7:55 a.m. update: Sluggish on 394

One area where traffic slows is on eastbound 394 from Louisiana Avenue to downtown Minneapolis. The gates to the HOT lane are stuck in the down position, so carpoolers are having to use the general traffic lanes.

With fewer people heading to work, overall traffic is lighter than normal as schools are off and many people are working at home.

We have few delays on the system. One area where traffic slows is on eastbound 394 from Louisiana Avenue to downtown Minneapolis. The gates to the HOT lane are stuck in the down position, so carpoolers are having to use the general traffic lanes. It's a bit sluggish, but still not a bad drive from Hwy. 100 to downtown.

Look for a crash on southbound Hwy. 169 at 77th Avenue in Brooklyn Park.

We have a crash and a stall on southbound 35W coming into Minneapolis. You'll find them at University Avenue and 4th Street.

In Woodbury, look for an accident on westbound 94 at County 19.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
