8:35 a.m. update: All lanes open on 94 in Minneapolis

The good news is that the crash on westbound 94 at Riverside Avenue has cleared and all lanes are open. The bad news is that the left lane is blocked with a crash at Lexington Avenue. That is adding to a long commute that is taking up to 65 minutes from Manning Avenue to downtown Minneapolis.

The good news is that the crash on westbound 94 at Riverside Avenue has cleared and all lanes are open. The bad news is that the left lane is blocked with a crash at Lexington Avenue. That is adding to a long commute that is taking up to 65 minutes from Manning Avenue to downtown Minneapolis.

We are getting word of a vehicle vs. school bus crash on Kendrick Trail and Jordan Av. in the south metro.

The Crosstown is at a near standstill in both directions from Hwy. 169 to 28th Avenue. A crash on eastbound Crosstown at France Avenue is partially blocking the left lane.

A slight improvement on northbound Cedar Avenue as the drive from County Road 42 to the Crosstown is down to 30 minutes. It's about the same on northbound 35W.

494 is running at about 34 minutes in both directions from Flying Cloud Drive to Hwy. 55.
