Minnesotans would have you believe...

...that there's never any traffic in the Twin Cities. In an article in the Daily Beast today, however, I-494 is listed as the 17th worst commute in America:

#17, I-494, Minneapolis-St. Paul Weekly hours of bottleneck congestion: 184 Worst bottleneck: Westbound, Lyndale Ave/Exit 4 Length of worst bottleneck: .49 mi Weekly hours of congestion on worst bottleneck: 32 Speed of worst bottleneck when congested: 19.8 mph

Commuter Buzz: In addition to Lyndale Avenue, the I 494/Hwy 169 interchange has, "been a bottleneck for years," says Jim Gates.

That's worse than even the San Diego Freeway (I-5) and I-75 in Atlanta.
