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
