The drive into downtown Minneapolis just got a little tougher for those on Central Avenue. A crash and vehicle fire at 20th Avenue NE. is the reason.

Things are looking better on eastbound 394 now that a crash in the carpool lane at Xenia Avenue has cleared.

Look for a stall blocking the ramp from northbound Hwy. 252 to go eastbound 694. In the work zone, traffic is quite slow between Hwy. 252 and University Avenue. Word is that the construction zone will expand east toward Central Avenue this week.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
