A crash on westbound I-694 at Hwy. 61 has cleared. Ahead, look for congestion from Labore Road over to Hwy. 10. Things start to loosen there and flow fairly well starting at Silver Lake Road.

Eastbound 694 is crammed from Silver Lake over to RIce Street.

The wreck on northbound 35W at 35th Street is gone. Lingering delays remain from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis.

The right lane of westbound 494 at 12th Avenue is creating delays there. Plan on 15 minutes to reach Hwy. 169. Eastbound 494 from Hwy. 212 to Cedar is about 20 minutes.

Look for a stalled vehicle on the shoulder of westbound 94 at Mounds Blvd. in St. Paul. Over in Woodbury, look for slow traffic approaching 694 due to road work taking out the left lane over to Century Avenue.

Eastbound 394 had pockets of slow traffic between Hwy. 169 and Wirth Pkwy.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
