Keeping tabs on Monday's morning commute

Good morning commuters!

Overnight rain has left the roads wet, and that has led to a couple spinouts this morning. They have cleared from the system, but use caution as you head out.

The weekend road work on northbound Hwy. 169 through New Hope and Brooklyn Park has wrapped up and all lanes are open.

In Shakopee, the line up on northbound Hwy. 169 is starting to form. Delays are minor at the moment, but look for them to grow within the next 30 minutes.

I will be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, letting you know where you will encounter problems on your drive to work or school. I could use your help, too. Leave a comment here, e-mail drive@startribune.com or tweet @stribdrive if you see issues on the road.

Make it a good Monday.
