As we progress through the final hour of the rush hour, many places are creeping along.

In downtown Minneapolis a wreck on westbound 94 at 35W has traffic bumper to bumper from Huron Blvd. Plan on 15 minutes to reach the Lowry Hill Tunnel.

It's a bad day to be on Hwy. 52. A serious crash near 117th Street has traffic tied up in both directions. The car vs. semitrailer truck wreck has traffic stopped northbound at Hwy. 55 while southbound come to a standstill near Concord.

In Maple Grove, a fender bender on the left shoulder of eastbound 94 at Elm Creek Blvd. is contributing to a 15 minute drive from Rogers to 494.

No wrecks, just heavy heavy traffic on both the Crosstown and 494 through Bloomington and Edina. It's a good 20 plus minutes in both directions on both routes from Hwy. 169 over to Cedar Avenue.
