Drivers on 494 can plan on doubling their normal commute time. It's jammed in both directions from Hwy. 7 to the Minnesota River. Look for a wreck on eastbound 494 at Hwy. 52.

One nugget of good news. The lane-blocking crash at Flying Cloud Drive has cleared.

On westbound 36, it's 12 minutes from 35E to Fairview Avenue.

Westbound 94 is congested from downtown St. Paul to Snelling Avenue. Plan on 20 minutes between the downtowns.

Look for a stalled vehicle blocking a lane on southbound 35E at Little Canada Road.

Southbound Hwy. 100 is extremely heavy. It's 45 minutes from 94 to the Crosstown.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020.
