A number of stalls and accidents, and a little rain, is all it takes to gum up traffic in spots. Look for a jam forming on northbound 35W near a crash at Burnsville Pkwy. and again in downtown Minneapolis in the I-94 curve.
Other problem spots include westbound Hwy. 5 at Hwy. 55 and eastbound Hwy. 10 at Airport Road. Look for a another crash on eastbound Crosstown at Hiawatha Avenue.
Here are some current travel times:
