Commuters on southbound 35W just can't catch a break. This smash up in the left lane at Stinson Blvd. has traffic re-cramming. It's been like that all morning as earlier wrecks have traffic sputtering along from Lexington Avenue all the way to northeast Minneapolis. Plan on 30 plus minutes from 95th Avenue to downtown.
Our other hot spot at the moment is on westbound I-494. A wreck near 24th Avenue has traffic rolling very slowly from Pilot Knob Road.
