A crash in the left lane of northbound Hwy. 169 at Lincoln Drive in Edina is all it takes to create a fine traffic jam. Things are parked at Bren Road, so plan on a good delay heading up from 494 to 394.

A number of other crashes also are knotting up traffic. Here is where you'll find the mishaps and the backups that come with them:

  • Vehicle in center median of southbound Hwy. 280 at Energy Park Drive.
    • Road work on eastbound 94 at Huron Blvd. Right lane is closed and back up begins west of Cedar Avenue
      • Eastbound Crosstown at Valley View Road. The left lane is partially blocked.
        • Northbound Hwy. 100, a school bus and car collided in right lane at France Avenue
          • A crash on the ramp from northbound Hwy. 61 to northbound 494
            • Northbound Cedar Avenue just prior to Cliff Road in Eagan
              • Northbound 35W at Hwy. 13. The mishap has been pushed to the right shoulder
