The crash on southbound 169 at 394 has cleared, but things have yet to shake loose. You'll need 15 minutes from Bass Lake Road to 394.

There is still a little congestion on westbound Hwy. 36 from Lexington Avenue to Hwy. 280. An earlier accident has cleared.

Our crash on northbound 35W at 46th Street is in the final stages of clearing. Look for a slow down from 50th Street. Travel time from Crosstown to downtown is about 10 minutes.

Westbound 494 is tight from Cedar Avenue to Hwy. 100. That is about 10 minutes.

I 94 between the downtowns is looking good.

Look for a wreck on the left shoulder of eastbound 494 at Hwy. 52.
