A few tough spots for commuters as we move into the peak of the rush hour. One of them is on northbound Cedar Avenue from Apple Valley to 494. A crash at County Road 38 is tangling traffic and adding a number of minutes to the drive.
Look for a 5 minute setback on eastbound Hwy. 212 with a crash at Eden Prairie Road.
Northbound Hwy. 169 has become an unpleasant experience from Hwy. 7 up to 394. Look for a crash near 36th Street. We've also got one at Lincoln Av. in Edina.
The ramp from eastbound Hwy. 610 to University Avenue remains closed. A vehicle rolled over on the ramp around 6 a.m. and authorities are still on the scene dealing with that one.
Crashes along southbound 35E have cleared, but congestion has not. The slow grind kicks in near County Road 14 and thing don't loosen up until your hit 694
