Alternative Routes to Duluth

Trip Planning Information

 

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead this summer to avoid the heaviest travel times on Interstate 35 or use an alternative route — especially during holiday or major event weekends.

 

Peak traffic levels on I-35 between the Twin Cities and Duluth typically occur between noon and 8 p.m. on Fridays and between noon and 6 p.m. on Sundays.

 

 

Construction is finished for 2011 and all lanes are open.

All remaining work will be completed in spring 2012 and includes installation of median barrier, bridge painting and deck repair on the ramp from northbound I-535 to northbound I-35. This work will require a three-week lane closure on I-35 and closure and detour of the ramp.
