Traffic is not likely to improve for some time as icy conditions persist. Trucks and some vehicles can't get up ramps and inclines.

Here are current closures:

  • Northbound 35W at Johnson Street. Traffic diverted to New Brighton Blvd. exit.
  • Westbound 394 at Dunwoody. Time to check out Olson Memorial Hwy.
  • Eastbound 694 has 2 lanes closed at University Avenue. Traffic jams at Hwy. 100. Not many good alternates for this one. Westbound has trouble at Silver Lake Road.
  • Eastbound Hwy. 212 at Mitchell Road has two lanes blocked in Eden Prairie

At last count, we have 22 accidents on the system. Take it easy out there
