Early road work has southbound 35W and I-35 reduced to a single lane from County Road 42 down to County Road 50. That's got traffic leaving the metro crawling. Northbound flows just fine, but do expect speeds to drop north of County 42 up to the Minnesota River.
Here are some current travel times:
North metro
Southbound 35W from Forest Lake Split to downtown Minneapolis: 22 minutes
Southbound 35E from Forest Lake Split to I-94: 23 minutes.
Eastbound Hwy. 10 from Hwy. 169 to 35W: 11 minutes
Westbound 694 from 35E to Hwy. 252: 11 minutes. Eastbound is 10 minutes.
