Crashes this morning on I-694 and I-35W have caused some workarounds on the major highways.
There were two crashes on I-694 westbound around 6 a.m. near Rice St. A multi-vehicle accident on northbound I-35W at Cliff Rd. happened a short while later. The vehicles are now only creating obstructions on the right shoulders.
