Metro Transit now says 71 percent of buses are running on schedule. That's up from 59 percent just a half hour ago. The average delay has dropped to 5 minutes on routes that are behind. No delays on the Blue Line.
On the roads, traffic is still slower than normal, but traffic volumes have thinned a bit. We still have lots of snow covered and slushy roads, so keep the speeds down and use caution.
Here is the latest list of incidents:
- Northbound 35W at Burnsville Pkwy. The right lane is blocked with a crash.
- Ramp from westbound 694 to Century Avenue is back open, but a pickup is partially blocking the ramp
