Southbound I-35W is always busy during the morning rush. Throw in a crash and things can come to a standstill. That's the case at 7:30 a.m. as a wreck near 95th Avenue has traffic barely moving.
The commute is slow all across the north metro where roads are wet congestion was building on a number of routes. Some of the heaviest traffic is on eastbound I-94 from Hwy. 101 down to the I-694/494/94 split in Maple Grove. That's 15-minute trip.
