A couple of crashes on westbound 94 is complicating the late rush hour commute for works heading to the job or those heading to the Minnesota State Fair.

The first is on the left shoulder at Radio Drive in Woodbury. The second, which is causing the traffic issues, is ahead at Hwy. 61. That one has Hwy. 61 and 10 traffic sputtering from Lower Afton Road up to 94. On 94, it's plugged White Bear Avenue to 35E.

It is not much better on the other side of St. Paul. A mishap at Snelling Avenue tangles traffic in the Midway.

Elsewhere, things are moving very slowly on northbound Hwy. 100 with a crash at the Crosstown. Other crashes include:
Northbound 35W at Cliff Road

Northbound 35W exits to downtown Minneapolis. Slow going from Diamond Lake Road into downtown Minneapolis. Plan on up to 20 minutes.

Southbound 35E at 694 in Vadnais Heights
