News Release

Roseville, Minn.— The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will reduce southbound I-35W to a single lane from Highway 36 in ROSEVILLE to Stinson Blvd. in MINNEAPOLIS at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5 and at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6.

This lane closure is necessary as crews plane the concrete they’ve repaired recently and is part of the larger I-35W barrier, guardrail and road surface rehab project begun June 16 between the two points. Equipment malfunctions caused crews to postpone Monday evening’s scheduled work.

Weather permitting, the lane will re-open by 5 a.m. each day, Wednesday, Aug. 6 and Thursday, Aug. 7.

The entire I-35W concrete repair and center barrier project from Stinson Blvd. to Highway 36 is scheduled for completion by Sept. 21, weather permitting. As a reminder, crews will suspend work on this project during the Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 21–Sept. 1.

Mn/DOT urges motorists always to drive with caution and reminds them to SLOW DOWN in work zones and NEVER enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones. For updated statewide traffic, construction and travel information visit www.511mn.org.
