A stall at Prior Avenue and a spinout at Hwy. 280 are the reasons for the herky-jerky traffic on westbound 94. Plan on 19 minutes from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis.

A stall at Prior Avenue and a spinout at Hwy. 280 are the reasons for the herky-jerky traffic on westbound 94. Plan on 19 minutes from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis.

Northbound 35W sputters from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis. That is a 16-minute trip.

Westbound Crosstown is up and down in terms of speeds from 35W out to Hwy. 169. Eastbound flows decent from Hwy. 100 to 35W where there is a minor slow down.

A couple other trouble spots:

Crash on eastbound 94 at Hwy. 169 involving a semitrailer truck

Southbound Hwy. 100 with crash on left shoulder at the Crosstown

Southbound 494 from Fish Lake Interchange to 394. Crash just south of the split.
