Keeping tabs on Monday's morning commute

It is an absolute mess out there with fog, mist and the wet roads greeting drivers on the mainline, snowpacked and icy conditions on sidestreets and lesser-traveled roads. Watch out on those ramps and bridge decks, too.

Good morning commuters.

It is an absolute mess out there with fog, mist and the wet roads greeting drivers on the mainline, snowpacked and icy conditions on sidestreets and lesser-traveled roads. Watch out on those ramps and bridge decks, too.

Already, we have a few accidents to deal with.

On 494 in Bloomington, we've got a crash eastbound at 34th Avenue where the left shoulder is blocked. On the westbound side, the right shoulder is blocked at Cedar Avenue.

A semitrailer truck landed in the ditch on eastbound Crosstown at Xerxes Avenue.
