A new accident involving at least three vehicles is leading to a jamup on westbound 494 at 35W. The backup begins at Lyndale Avenue. The left lane is blocked.

That's leading to slowdowns on the eastbound side from France Avenue past the scene.

Good news for 252 drivers; things have thinned out there and is getting back to normal.

The stall on southbound 494 at the Fish Lake interchange has been towed away. Things are flowing smoothly up in Maple Grove.
