8:25 a.m. update: Work zone crash on 694 equals standstill

Motorists are barely moving on westbound 694 due to a crash in the work zone at East River Road. One lane is still open, but it is painfully slow. The backup extends to Silver Lake Road, so get off there or plan on 10-minute wait.

Motorists are barely moving on westbound 694 due to a crash in the work zone at East River Road. One lane is still open, but it is painfully slow. The backup extends to Silver Lake Road, so get off there or plan on 10-minute wait.

Commuters on southbound 94 also are waiting in line from Olson Memorial Hwy. to the Lowry Hill Tunnel. It's 7 minutes over to 35W.

Look for a Metro Transit bus sitting on the right shoulder of eastbound 394 at Louisiana Avenue. Ahead plan on a brief jamup at Wirth Pkwy. and again at I-94.
