The first crash of the morning comes in Blaine. You'll encounter is on northbound Hwy. 65 at 105th Avenue. That is not having too much of an impact on traffic.
We have good roads and only a few places where traffic is bunching up:
Eastbound 94 from Hwy. 101 to 694/494: 17 minutes
Westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to 35W: 11 minutes
Southbound 35E from Little Canada Road to 94: 8 minutes
Westbound 94 from White Bear Avenue to Jackson Street: 8 minutes
