Good morning, commuters!

We start today with a work zone delay and it's not on Hwy. 169 over the Bloomington Ferry Bridge.

Traffic is already stacked up on eastbound Hwy. 10 through Anoka and Coon Rapids due to road work. The delays begin at 7th Avenue and extend past County Road 14 to near Hanson Blvd.

We also have road work on westbound 494 at Lyndale Avenue and eastbound 494 at Xerxes Avenue in Bloomington.

It won't be long before we see traffic jam up on northbound 169 through Bloomington and Shakopee.

It's fog in the south metro that could cause some problems for drivers. Use caution as you venture out.

I will 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.
