[whiskeytown]

all traffic in Mpls is boned....in fact, quite frankly, the whole goddamn town sucks for traffic - get used to it - In fact, I know of foreign transportation officials who have been brought to this town to see exactly what NOT to do with their city.

494 and 100 (the whole SW metro) is pretty brutal, but there is some major road construction going on right now between 100 and 169 on 494 (I have to cut over early to go to Canterbury, as I live on 100 - ) - could have been part of it - personally, I'd look north of it rather then south, as virtually all rush hr. heads into Mpls. in the morning and out in the evening.

near Canterbury is getting some overpasses put in, so it'll have fewer stoplights, and I would NOT set yourself up in any way that you have to drive hwy 62 -

it's a brutal town for driving...not Chicago or NY or LA, but lots of stop and go - about the only easy road is 94E which has 4 lanes, two of which go into the tunnel and two of which break off. -

but I don't live down there....Bob T may be able to help you out more -
