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

The new hotspot is on eastbound I-394 with crashes on the right shoulder at Xenia Avenue. A gawker slow down has traffic bunching up at Hopkins Crossroad. Ahead, look for tight traffic from Wirth Pkwy. to downtown Minneapolis.

Northbound Hwy. 52 has been a nightmare all morning. While crashes at I-494 and Southview Blvd. has cleared, the jam is still in place from 80th Street up to 494.
