8:15 a.m. update: Little improvement on 35W

A crash that had two lanes blocked on the downtown exits off northbound 35W has cleared, but that is not bringing much relief for late-rush hour commuters. Traffic is bumper to bumper from the Crosstown to downtown, a 17-minute drive.

A crash that had two lanes blocked on the downtown exits off northbound 35W has cleared, but that is not bringing much relief for late-rush hour commuters. Traffic is bumper to bumper from the Crosstown to downtown, a 17-minute drive.

Westbound 694 continutes to struggle from Hwy. 36 over to the western split with 35E. A wreck at Little Canada Road has traffic backing up into the commons in Little Canada.

Westbound Crosstown is hampered by a crash at Penn Avenue that just cleared. It's tough going from Gleason Road past the scene.

Look for a left lane blocker on southbound 35E at County Road J.

No crashes, but lots of traffic has speeds way below the posted on eastbound 94 from the Crow River to the Maple Grove split.

On Hwy. 13, look for an accident at Washburn Avenue.
