Good morning, commuters!

The rush hour is getting off to a cool and gray start, but good news is that we have no major problems on the roads at this hour. Pavement is wet in spots, but road conditions will dry out today with warmer weather in the forecast.

Here is a note for those traveling in Bloomington this week. All this week starting at 7 p.m., both directions of 494 will be reduced to two lanes. By 10 p.m, the freeway will be reduced to one lane until 6 a.m. the following morning.

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