How has the mid-day Thursday traffic been from The Twin Cities to Duluth? I know Fridays can be bad and I seem to remember that Thursdays can be bad sometimes as well. I should hit St. Paul around 9:30am and be in Duluth around Noon. Hopefully I will hit a lull. Thoughts?

Late morning on a Thursday should be just fine. Might hit a slow down or two with the road construction but nothing major like a Friday at 6PM. You will probably hit more traffic in St Paul at 9:30am than you will on 35 between the cities and Duluth.

It will not be an issue.

Thanks, I've seen the "Going North" for the weekend traffic a time or two and don't want to get caught up in it.
