9 a.m. update: Wrapping up the rush hour

We still have one problem spot, and that is on westbound 494 at Penn Avenue where a stall has been blocking the right lane for more than an hour. It's still 20 minutes from 24th Avenue to Hwy. 100.

Today has been a good day for drivers heading to work with few delays and only a couple of accidents.

We still have one problem spot, and that is on westbound 494 at Penn Avenue where a stall has been blocking the right lane for more than an hour. It's still 20 minutes from 24th Avenue to Hwy. 100.

I'll be back on Monday with a look at your drive to work. It's President's Day, so we could have an easy commute with many folks off for the holiday.

Metro Transit and MVTA buses will follow their regular schedules on Monday.

As always, if you see any problems or issues on the roads, email drive@startribune or send a tweet to @stribdrive.

Have a good weekend everybody.
