AVOID 35W North from Highway 36 up to the 35W/35E merge. Some days there are 2 bypass lanes, some days there are only one, but every day there is a backup especially as you get closer to the 694 onramp. That whole length is just a swear word now. |

Minnesotian: " It's a mess a lot further south than that. Personally I wouldn't go anywhere near 35W north of Hwy 62 right now. So many eff-bombs. Yogi I can't guarantee you 35E won't have some slow spots but it's the best route right now for sure. |

I seen the after math of 4 accidents. And seen the 5th. An oversize load turned over on an entrance ramp. 6 large tow trucks with cables everywhere. Just hot passed it and was picking up speed.in the oncoming lanes (east bound) i was (west bound) Bam, the on coming traffic was slowing to view the accident. One car rear-ended another. Both cars just exploded. One car got airborne hit the ground. The underside was clearly visible to me. Hit the ground barrel rolled twice.Hit another car and carremened into the barriers separating the lanes right next to me I swerved. It moved the barriers about 3 feet but it held.... WOW. I was almost toast. Moral of story, ANY TIME ANY WHERE.... Drive safe in your adventures this summer. |

Minnesotian: " I'd agree. It's not to bad from 62 crosstown up to about Diamond Lake (just shy of 46th exit) but then the fun begins. You might get through without too much delay around midday. However, the only time I have seen it with little to no traffic was late in the day around 6PM and only heading north. Heading south was backed up with evening rush. That section north of 36 can be a huge slowdown. If you can track it on your phone's map, it might be able to give you construction updates to take 35E or 494 to swing way wide of downtown. I usually leave at 3 or 4am to head north which is a different story all together :) |
