It didn't take long for a crash on eastbound I-94 at Hemlock Lane in Maple Grove to cause a traffic snag. Traffic jams at Weaver Lake Road and remains tight all the way over to Zane Avenue.
Northbound Hwy. 169 is tight, too. Things are creeping along from County Road 18 up to Anderson Lakes Pkwy. Plan on 15 minutes to reach 494.
