Both directions of I-494 in Minnetonka are seeing reduced speeds due to congestion between 394 and Hwy. 7. On the northbound side, a wreck at Orchard Road is adding to the slow downs.

Northbound 35W continues to stuggle from County Road 42 up to 98th Street due to a crash still in progress at 110th Street and another at Cliff Road. The stretch from the Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis is seeing some improvement. Plan on 30 minutes from the Burnsville Split to I-94.
