8:45 a.m. update: Congestion starting to dissipate

Traffic maps during the middle of the rush hour had more reds and yellows than our brilliant fall trees, but as we hit the end of the rush, maps are showing more green.

Traffic maps during the middle of the rush hour had more reds and yellows than our brilliant fall trees, but as we hit the end of the rush, maps are showing more green.

All our crashes have cleared out, meaning that traffic on southbound 35W in the northern suburbs, westbound I-94 from Afton through Woodbury and northbound 35W through Burnsville and Bloomington has recovered nicely.

We still have a pocket of tight traffic on northbound 35W from Crosstown to downtown. Southbound Hwy. 169 from 77th Avenue in Brooklyn Park to Hwy. 7 is still running behind.
