A crash earlier this morning on the Minnesota River bridge caused traffic on westbound 494 to stack up across the Minnesota River bridge. And more than an hour later, the line up extends over to Lake Drive in Woodbury.

The estimated trip time from Lake Drive over to Hwy. 100 in Bloomington in 61 minutes, so settle in.

It's not much quicker on westbound 94 from Hudson to St. Paul. A crash on the St. Croix River bridge has traffic jammed three miles into Wisconsin. Gridlock kicks in again from McKnight Road to Western Avenue due to a crash at Western that just cleared.
