ROSEVILLE, Minn. – Starting Friday, June 9, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will begin the last of three weekend closures of northbound I-35W between I-35E in Burnsville and I-494 in Bloomington so crews can continue resurfacing I-35W and improving ramps, sidewalks, and signals at several intersections
Beginning 10 p.m. Friday, June 9 through 5 a.m. Monday, June 12 northbound I-35W will be closed. All northbound ramps between I-35E and 82nd Street, and the southbound I-35W E-ZPass lane between 82nd Street and 94th Street will also be closed during this time. Motorists will be detoured to I-35E to Highway 77 to I-494. Local access to northbound I-35W will remain open at 82nd Street via Lyndale Avenue.
After the weekend closure, the following ramps and lanes will be closed:
Through late August:
- The ramps from 98th Street to southbound I-35W is closed
- Detour: Lyndale Ave. to 106th St.
There will also be weekend closures on southbound I-35W later this summer.
