Then, starting at 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 3 through early July, crews will close the ramp from Burnsville Pkwy. to southbound I-35W so crews can rebuild the Burnsville Pkwy. bridge.

Reminder I-35W E-ZPass in Burnsville
April through November, there will not be an E-ZPass option between the I-35W split in Burnsville and Cliff Rd. for either direction of I-35W.
We appreciate your patience while we make these improvements. Plan ahead by checking 511, and give yourself additional time to reach your destination.

In coordination with the City of Burnsville and Dakota County, we will resurface I-35W and repair or replace bridges between Cliff Rd. and the Burnsville split during the 2025 and 2026 construction seasons. During construction crews will make the following road and bridge updates:
- Replace pavement on I-35W
- Repair or replace bridges at Hwy 13 and Cliff Rd.
- Update guardrail
- Improve drainage
Crews expect to complete the work in fall 2026. Once finished, this stretch of I-35W will have a smoother road surface and an extended bridge and pavement life.
