Thousands drive past it every day, but it takes a bird’s eye view to see the unique construction project happening along I-35W in south Minneapolis.

The multi-year effort is to address a persistent problem that often stops traffic for hours and can be dangerous for drivers.

This time of year, heavy snow and ice are the main worries for drivers along the busy stretch of I-35W in south Minneapolis. But come spring and summer it’s heavy rain, which has at times overwhelmed the drainage system below the highway.
