Eastbound 494 is very congested from Hwy. 169 to Hwy. 100. A mishap at Hwy. 169 is part of the reason for a 10-minute trip.

Southbound 35W is improving a little from Industrial Blvd. to Hennepin Avenue. That is still a 12- minute drive.

A stalled semi is leading to a mini-jam on eastbound 94 from 7th Street to Groveland Avenue. Plan on 8 minutes from Olson Hwy. to 35W.
