Transit options
Please consider the many available options to get downtown or around I-35W construction. You will find links to those options to the right.
METRO Orange Line
As part of the 35W@94: Downtown to Crosstown project, Metro Transit will be leading construction on the METRO Orange Line—a 17-mile planned highway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line that will connect Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington and Burnsville along I-35W.
This route will upgrade and replace the existing local Route 535 with enhanced service and amenities, and new station features will benefit other transit riders along I-35W.
The project includes:
- Street improvements
- Upgraded transit stations
- Park & Ride facilities
- Improved bus routes
