Good morning, commuters!

Friday starts with a little road work on southbound I-35W at 85th Street in Bloomington where two lanes are closed. Those lanes should be open a bit later this morning before the rush hour gets into full swing.

Eastbound I-94 at Ruth Street will see the right lane closed as work on a noise wall continues in the area.

We've got more lane closures on tap for the weekend as MnDOT continues working on I-494 in Plymouth between Hwy. 55 and the Fish Lake Interchange.

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.
