8:15 a.m. update: Lane back open on 494 in Newport

The crash that had been blocking two lanes on westbound 494 at Hwy. 61 has been pushed off to the right shoulder, and all lanes are back open. The damage has been done, however, as the backup still extends to Lake Road in Woodbury.

The crash that had been blocking two lanes on westbound 494 at Hwy. 61 has been pushed off to the right shoulder, and all lanes are back open. The damage has been done, however, as the backup still extends to Lake Road in Woodbury.

A crash on southbound 169 at Cedar Lake Road is leading to minor slow downs coming down from 394.

I-94 in Maple Grove is looking marvelous now that a crash at Elm Creek Pkwy. has cleared out and traffic has recovered to near posted speeds.
