35W@94: Downtown to Crosstown

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
