The eastbound 94 drive from Hwy. 101 to 494/694 is now only 21 minutes. It had been a trip that was taking more than 30 to 35 minutes earlier this morning.

On northbound 169, it's 22 minutes from Canterbury Road to 494. That's a 7-minute improvement.

Traffic is still heavy on southbound 35E from 694 to 94. Plan on 18 minutes.

A crash on the left shoulder of southbound Hwy. 100 at Glenwood Avenue is slowing traffic just a titch.

On 494 in both directions it's about 15 minutes between Hwy. 100 and Cedar Avenue.
