I am applying for a job in Hopkins. I live in St. Michael and currently commute to Plymouth. I am familiar with the congestion that occurs between St. Michael and the Fish Lake Road interchange at the 494 / 694 split but am looking for information on what the traffic is like from the 494/694 split in Maple Grove through to Hopkins. My guess is 169 will be the best route.

I would start at 7am so I am trying to estimate how long it would take me to get there. What is 169 S like at that time of the morning? And how about leaving for home at 4? Where are the trouble spots going either direction? Any good shortcuts that you have tried?

Thank you for your feedback!

I work in Hopkins, and recently moved out of the north metro to live closer to work, though we were not as far out as St. Michael.

Starting at 7 will be a plus, but traffic could still be rough. Personally, I avoided 169 at all costs. 494 to 7 will probably be better.
