The peak of the rush hour has brought crashes and congestion that is slowing traffic on most major routes.

The highlights, or maybe the lowlights:

  • Westbound 94 from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis, 25 minutes due to crash at 5th Street in Minneapolis
    • Southbound Hwy. 100 from 394 to Crosstown, 20 minutes
      • Northbound 35E from Cedar Avenue to downtown St. Paul, 28 minutes
        • Southbound 35W from Lake Drive to Hwy. 280, 20 minutes. Look for a crash at County Road J
          • Northbound 35W from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis, 18 minutes
            • Eastbound 694 from Hwy. 169 to 35W, 22 minutes
              • Southbound Hwy. 169 from 94 to Hwy. 55, 18 minutes
                • Northbound Cedar Avenue from McAndrews Road to Crosstown, 19 minutes

                  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.
