Single-Lane Traffic This Weekend on Interstate 35

More single-lane traffic is scheduled on northbound Interstate 35 this weekend.

Here is the latest on the I-35/35E/35W construction project from the Minnesota Department of Transportation:

INTERSTATE 35

Beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 9, northbound I-35 will be reduced to a single lane between County Road 50 and the I-35/35W/35E Split as crews repair concrete.

In addition, the ramps to and from northbound I-35 at County Road 46 will close at 10 a.m.

All lanes and ramps are scheduled to re-open by 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 12

Just a reminder: The long-term, head-to-head traffic switch is tentatively scheduled to begin on or around Aug. 26.

INTERSTATE 35W

Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9 crews will close southbound I-35W, between Highway 13 and the I-35/35W/35E Split, as crews paint several bridges that span the roadway. Motorists should follow the signed detour using I-494 and southbound I-35E bypassing the closure.

All lanes are scheduled to re-open by 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 12.

Next weekend northbound will close between the I-35/35W/35E Split and Hwy 13 and the I-35/35W/35E Split in order for crews to complete the bridge painting.

INTERSTATE 35E

You will still encounter temporary lane closures on both directions of I-35E between Diffley Road and the I-35/35W/35E Split as crews continue to remove the crossovers and barrier and restripe the roadway and bridge decks.

The McAndrews Road Bridge has re-opened to vehicles. However, pedestrians will still need to follow the signed detour using County Road 11, Evergreen Drive and Portland Avenue so crews can continue to install the railing and fence.

All dates are subject to change due to project readiness and weather.
