Congestion

• 2022 Congestion Report (PDF)
  Key Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on traffic levels throughout the State of Minnesota. Highway volume decreased by as much as 50% in 2020 on many corridors, providing congestion relief and improved air quality. As pandemic restrictions eased, teleworking has remained a significant way to conduct business keeping traffic volumes below expected values. While statewide traffic levels approached normal levels, Twin Cities metro freeway traffic volumes averaged about 5% below the 2018-2019 volumes in October 2022.
