A wreck just before Long Lake Road on eastbound 694 has traffic creeping along in the area. Westbound traffic remains tight from 35E over to Central Avenue.

A few people carrying signs on the Lexington Avenue bridge are grabbing the attention of a few drivers. Use caution if you are traveling westbound on I-94.

Both the Crosstown and 494 in both directions are seeing pockets of stop and go traffic. Plan on 15 minutes between Hwy. 169 and 35W on the Crosstown. On 494, it's 15 to 18 minutes between Cedar Avenue and Hwy. 169.
