It's a crowded drive on I-494 along the Bloomington Strip. In both directions between Cedar Avenue and Hwy. 100 is 20 minutes.

Drivers are spending a few extra minutes heading westbound on I-94 as traffic bunches up from Huron Blvd. over to 11th Avenue in Minneapolis.

One crash is still creating a mess on eastbound 394 due to a crash in the carpool lane near Xenia Avenue.

A stall is on the right shoulder of southbound I-35E between County J and County H2. Ahead, look for a slow down from Roselawn Avenue down to I-94.

Speeds are well below the posted on northbound 35W from Burnsville Pkwy. up to the Minnesota River bridge and ahead from 50th Street to downtown Minneapolis.

Southbound 35W still has its issues from 95th Avenue down to I-694.
