8:30 a.m. update: Current drive times

The drive on southbound Hwy. 100 should start to improve now that a car fire and crash at 50th Street have been moved out of the traffic lanes. Things are still bumper to bumper from Duluth Street past the scene.

Commuters on westbound 94 will be happy to know that the mishaps at Cretin Avenue have been cleared. Still, the drive from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis is at 25 minutes.

Eastbound 94 has a stall near Franklin Avenue.
