As many as 8 vehicles have crashed in the 2LL NB on I-294 before Ogden Avenue. Solid delays start 5 miles distant, across the Mile Long Bridge! Use 83 or LaGrange Road to Ogden Avenue to enter NB I-294 to miss the mess! More at https://t.co/vhbRxCcLib pic.twitter.com/cP6cDufnm2

Five cars required towing.
Kris Habermehl reccomends taking LaGrange Road to Ogden Avenue to enter northbound I-294 and avoid the backups.
