The drive on northbound 35W is slow from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis. Plan on 15 minutes there.

A crash that had been blocking the center lane of westbound 94 just before Hwy. 280 has cleared. It's still bumper to bumper from Marion Street past Riverside Avenue, so plan on 25 minutes there.

The Crosstown appears to be loosening a bit. Still, plan on 15 minutes heading east from Tracy Avenue to 35W. Eastbound is 12 to 15 minutes from Hwy. 55 over to Portland Avenue.

Both southbound 35W and westbound Hwy. 36 are moving better than earlier this morning. Plan on delays that will add a few extra minutes on both routes.
