Origin -Destination Analysis Daily Profile Trip type also effects the timing and direction of traffic using the Highways 101, 169 and 610 Mississippi River crossings. Commute trips using a NW Twin Cities Metro river crossing generally travel inbound during morning peak hours and outbound during afternoon peak hours. As a result, between 60 and 70 percent of morning crossings are southbound on Highways 101 and 169 or westbound on Hwy 610. A similar pattern occurs in the afternoon, with 60 to 70 percent of crossings occurring on Hwy 101 northbound, Hwy 169 northbound or Hwy 610 eastbound.
