A multi-vehicle wreck on the right shoulder of westbound 494 has traffic tied up starting at I-35W in Richfield.

Crosstown is not a good alternate as congestion and a crash at 28th Avenue is bogging things down. It's 18 minutes from 28th over to Hwy. 169. Westbound Crosstown crawls along from Hwy. 169 over 35W. That is 16 minutes.

A wreck on westbound 94 at LaSalle Avenue has cleared, but things are still heavy duty from Huron Blvd. to the tunnel.

Eastbound 94 is about 6 minutes from Olson Hwy. to 35W.

Northbound 35W is 20 minutes from Crosstown to downtown Minneapolis.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
