Things are going from bad to worse on northbound 35W in south Minneapolis. Four wrecks have the freeway at a standstill.

Wrecks are blocking the lanes at 46th Street, 50th Street, 60thStreet and now at Nicollet Avenue.

It's a minimum of 20 minutes from the Crosstown Commons to downtown Minneapolis. Delays begin at 66th St. on 35W and the backup on east Hwy. 62 begin at Penn Avenue.

On the north side, our usual congestion is forming on southbound 35W from County Road 10 to County Road E2 in Mounds View.
