??? OK I'll try and take a picture to prove it.
As for alternate routes, yes there is but with all the turnsies and stop lights involved, might not be worth it or very repeatable time wise.
I suppose it's not the end of the world, but just understand it's not that fun so I would definately be chosing BP as my last option. |

Re: Moving to the Cities!
Cool. Really hoping to get a job in Cottage Grove or Eagan. I would like to not travel anymore.

From Woodbury to Eagan is roughly 10-15 minutes. Traffic is pretty empty around that time also (10-6 or after 6pm). From Eagan to Woodbury, around 5-6pm is where it sometimes gets packed because at the 494-to-694, goes from 3 lanes to 2 lanes. As for BP to Woodbury (after work), it's pretty chaotic right. Halon is 110% correct on that one. I hate going that way.

Re: Moving to the Cities!
I take 694 from white bear lake to eagan everyday. Besides the 694/494/94 intersection, it usually moves pretty easy.

Re: Moving to the Cities!
Of course if you're starting at White Bear, it usually clears up right before you start getting to Maplewood. It's in Shoreview like I said (from about 35W to Rice St) where it sucks balls. It can take 20-30min to get through there at times after work.

Re: Moving to the Cities!
Yep, that Hwy 10/Snelling/35W area is a bitch, what a horrible design. Build the stadium there and redesign it!

Re: Moving to the Cities!
pretty far drive if you're going to take the jobs at the new luther dealerships, but not a bad place to work at all. I work for Chrysler just up the road from there. Welcome to the boards.
