Z ARCHIVE: Metro - 35W@94 Downtown to Crosstown in Minneapolis: 2017-2021 construction

Reminder: I-35W and Lake St. weekend closure scheduled June 28-July 1

We wanted to remind you about the closure of I-35W this weekend. Beginning at 10 p.m. on Friday, June 28, I-35W will be closed in both directions between I-94 and Highway 62. I-35W will be open by 5 a.m. Mon, July 1. The detour route includes Hwy 62, Hwy 100 and I-394. The ramps to and from I-35W will begin to close at 9 p.m. Fri, June 28.

Crews will also demolish the I-35W bridge over Lake St. during the weekend closure. To do this safely, Lake St. will be closed between 1st Ave. S and 2nd Ave. S from 10 p.m. Fri, June 28 through 5 a.m. Mon, July 1. Drivers should follow the posted detour routes.

SB I-35W to 46th St. ramp reopens July 1

We’re happy to announce the reopening of the SB I-35W to 46th St. ramp, which has been closed since June 10. When the ramp reopens at 6 a.m. Mon, July 1, drivers who plan to exit at 46th St. will need to move into the right lane at 31st St.

We will still need some occasional short-term closures of this ramp through fall 2020.

NB I-35W to 5th Ave., 11th St./Grant St. overnight closures July 1-2

The access from NB I-35W to 11th St./Grant St. in downtown will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Mon, July 1 and Tue, July 2.

*All closures are weather permitting and subject to change.
