That pesky crash taking out the left lane is making for a miserable commute for southbound Hwy. 169 drivers. Traffic comes to a near halt at Hwy. 610 and remains thick past the accident at the I-94 interchange.
Commuters on eastbound Hwy. 212 can commiserate. A wreck at Prairie Center Drive is bogging down the trip through Eden Prairie with slow downs from Hwy. 101 over to 494.
