Good morning, commuters!

The first round of rain has move through and another round look as if it will move in during the rush. That could slow the drive into work, so be prepared.

MnDOT has finished pushing the Larpenteur Avenue bridge over I-35E into place and two lanes in each direction between Little Canada Road and Maryland Avenue are open.

Overnight road work on westbound 94 at Riverside Avenue in Minneapolis and on southbound 35W at County Road 21 in Lino Lakes has just cleared. With the cones out of the way, the metro area road system has clean bill of health.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
