Good morning, commuters!

A couple of big rig tow are on the ramp from westbound I-94 to southbound I-494 in Woodbury working to clear a stalled semitrailer truck that is partially blocking.

Ahead, the big news is that the ramp from westbound I-94 to northbound I-35E is shut down for the next 30 days. MnDOT closed the ramp Monday night as a reconstruction project gets underway. It will be interesting to see how traffic disburses across the east metro.

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.
