Keeping tabs on Thursday's morning commute

It's all good for those who are out the door early this morning as traffic maps are green, meaning no problems at all.

Good morning, commuters!

It's all good for those who are out the door early this morning as traffic maps are green, meaning no problems at all.

That will likely change, especially for commuters who use Hwy. 52/55 through Inver Grove Heights. The single lane construction from Argenta Trail to Concord Blvd. has been responsible for backups extending up to 2 miles, according to commuters. Adding to the problems in the southeast metro is a project that has Hwy. 55 at Dodd Road/Hwy. 149 under construction. Both projects will run for another three week.

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.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
