Good morning, commuters!
The Thursday morning rush hour begins with lingering road work on northbound I-494 at 47th Avenue in Plymouth.
Beware of slick spots. The State Patrol is responding to two vehicles off the road on northbound I-35 in the Elko New Market area, exit 76.
Later this morning, eastbound I-94 will be down a lane between Huron Blvd. and Hwy. 280. through Nov. 24. One exception, the fourth lane will be open between 3 and 6 p.m. on weekdays to accommodate rush hour traffic.-- Scratch that. This work has been pushed back until Friday.
The reason for the lane drop: MnDOT will be working on the noise wall on the south side of the freeway.
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.
