Traffic on westbound Hwy. 55 had been moving fairly well until a crash occurred on the Mendota Bridge. That has things stacked up to Hwy. 110.
A crash on westbound 494 at 24th Avenue is adding to the major delays that begin at Lake Road in Woodbury and continue over to Hwy. 100. Some commuters are needing 1 hour from Woodbury to Bloomington.
