Weekend construction closes I-35W south of downtown Minneapolis

All northbound lanes of Interstate 35W will close from Highway 62/Crosstown to Interstate 94 from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

The following ramps will also close starting at 9 p.m. on Friday:

• The Highway 62 ramp to northbound I-35W
• The 60th Street ramp to northbound I-35W
• The Diamond Lake Road ramp to northbound I-35W
• The 46th Street ramp to northbound I-35W
• The 35th Street ramp to northbound I-35W

The closure is due to warranty work on the 35W@94 project.

A detour route is in place using westbound Highway 62/Crosstown, northbound Highway 100, eastbound I-394 and I-94 to access I-35W.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is urging drivers to add extra time on the roads and avoid cutting through neighborhoods to get around the closure.
