Traffic is starting to pick up the pace on southbound 35W from 95th Avenue to downtown Minneapolis. It's now down to 28 minutes. Things are still tight from Industrial Blvd. to Washington Avenue.

Northbound 35W from the Burnsville Split is loosening, with the drive time to downtown Minneapolis now at 20 minutes, down from 35 minutes.

A new crash is blocking the right shoulder on northbound Hwy. 169 on the north end of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. It's 15 minutes from Canterbury Road up to 494.

Look for wreckage on the right shoulder on westbound 694 at Rice Street. Expect some minor delays from 35E past the scene.
