We have not forgotten about 35W in the north metro. The freeway is creeping along from Hwy. 10 all the way to downtown Minneapolis. Things are at 30 miles per hour or less from Hwy. 280 down to 94.
Westbound Hwy. 36 also slows from Lexington Avenue over to Hwy. 280. Plan on 10 minutes.
On westbound 694, it's a parking lot from SIlver Lake Road over to Hwy. 100. It's a good 25 minutes through there.
Eastbound drivers, no gloating. Your lane restrictions are coming this week.
No relief on southbound Hwy. 169. That unplanned road work at 49th Avenue has created a big bottleneck that has traffic stopped back to 77th Avenue.

Weekend I-35W closure in Minneapolis will be last of the year
Drivers can plan on more weekend closures in the spring as the $239 million I-35W downtown-to-Crosstown project continues until 2021. In a shred of good news, MnDOT will reopen ramp access from northbound I-35W to 5th Avenue on Monday.

Slippery roads spawn scores of morning rush hour crashes
It's hardly a big snow storm, but snow combined with temperatures at or just below freezing is all it takes to create slick conditions on metro area roads.
