An accident that created lengthy backups on Hwy. 36 earlier this morning, things are starting to get back to normal. You'll still find some lingering congestion, adding 15 minutes to the drive.

Elsewhere, 494 remains tight. Westbound delays occur from Hwy. 212 to 35W and eastbound slowdowns are in place from 24th Avenue to 35W. The Crosstown is looking pretty good at this hour.

On 35W northbound, there is moderate levels of traffic between Crosstown and downtown. A crash at 28th Street is slowing things down a bit.

Speeds are at 30 mph on southbound and northbound 694 through the single lane work zone from 34th Street to Hwy. 61 in Oakdale.
