8:10 a.m. update: Not much improvement on 35W, 35E

Earlier crashes on southbound 35W tangled traffic through Shoreview and traffic has been slow to recover. The thick conditions are in place from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280, making for a 30 minute drive from the Forest Lake Split to downtown Minneapolis.

Earlier crashes on southbound 35W tangled traffic through Shoreview and traffic has been slow to recover. The thick conditions are in place from 95th Avenue to Hwy. 280, making for a 30 minute drive from the Forest Lake Split to downtown Minneapolis.

Things are really dragging on southbound 35E from 694 to downtown St. Paul. A new crash on westbound 694 near the 35E/694 split are adding to the misery. Plan on 25 minutes from County Road J to downtown St. Paul.

Northbound 35W creeps along from County Road 42 past a disabled vehicle in the left lane on the Minnesota River bridge. Things move swifter north of 98th Street into downtown Minneapolis. Plan on 22 minutes from the river to the I-94/downtown exits.
