MnDOT said it was going to close northbound Hwy. 52 at Plato Blvd. at 8:15 a.m. to remove a stalled semi that is carrying chlorine, but the right lane is still open. The jam has subsided a bit with the line up beginning at Butler Avenue.
A crash on the right shoulder of southbound 494 at Rockford Road has traffic crawling from the Fish Lake Split past the scene.
Over on northbound Hwy. 169, a pair of wrecks have cleared. Look for slow traffic between Hwy. 101 and I-494.
The jam on northbound I-35W in Burnsville still in place even through a wreck at 113th Street is now gone. Plan on sluggish conditions from Burnsville Pkwy. up to 98th Street.
Here are some current travel times:
North metro
Southbound 35W from 95th Avenue to downtown Minneapolis: 15 minutes
Southbound 35E from County 96 to I-94: 16 minutes.
