I494 at Lyndale


I-494: The Twin Cities' highway to Hell?

Excerpt:

According to a new analysis of freeway traffic congestion, 494 in the vicinity of Lyndale Avenue along Bloomington's northern border ranked 17th-worst in the nation.

The analysis found that the worst bottleneck stretches for about a half-mile near Lyndale, with it gridlocked 32 hours a week. Motorists' average speed: just over 19 mph.


Comment: Other bad areas (from personal experience): Hwy 169 at Hwy 81 (remediation project ongoing) and Hwy 169 just S of I494.
