A three-vehicle crash has been cleared from southbound I-35 in Forest Lake. The carnage was near County Road 2. Traffic in the area has returned to normal speeds.
Look out for a stalled pickup truck blocking the HOT lane on southbound 35W at 110th Street in Bloomington. Northbound traffic seems lighter than usual. The trip from County Road 42 to downtown Minneapolis is just 16 minutes.
