Traffic is barely moving on westbound 494 from 35E to Hwy. 169. A crash at Portland Avenue blocking the left lane is part of the problem. It's 40 minutes from 35E to Hwy. 100.

Things are jammed on Hwy. 100 in both directions between Crosstown Hwy. 62 and 394.

Eastbound 394 is slow. It's 25 minutes from 169 to downtown Minneapolis.

Westbound 94 is 27 minutes from St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis. It's 30 minutes from Manning Avenue to downtown St. Paul.

On 694, it's 30 minutes in each direction from 35E to 35W.

Southbound Hwy. 169 is 35 minutes from 94 to the Crosstown.
