7 a.m. update: Current drive times

The barrels are out again on eastbound I-94 from Franklin Avenue to Hwy. 280 as that wall painting project continues. So far, that is not causing any problems.

Look for a minor delay on southbound I-35 at County Road 2 in Forest Lake has the left lane out of service. Police are on the scene. Three vehicles are involved. That crash just cleared.

Road work has traffic slowing down on northbound Hwy. 55 from Argenta Trail up to the northern split with Hwy. 149.

Elsewhere light levels of traffic are making for a nice commute. Enjoy the open roads.
