A reader tells the Drive that commuters are pushing cars up the hill on westbound 94 at Hwy. 280. A dangerous situation for sure. The back up is at Snelling Avenue.

It's plugged up on westbound 494 at Penn Avenue. Semis blocking left and Center lanes. Plan on long delays

Eastbound 694 has its troubles at University Avenue. Trucks can't get up the hill.

Look for a fresh crash taking out the left and right lanes on eastbound 394 at Central Avenue in Wayzata.

Southbound 494 has a lane blocked at Hwy. 55.

For the rest of the mayhem:
