News Release

Roseville, Minn. — The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will reduce northbound Interstate 35W to one lane from 7 p.m. Friday, June 24 until 11 a.m. Saturday, June 25. Southbound I-35W will be reduced to one lane from 8 p.m. Friday, June 24 until noon Saturday, June 25.

The lane closures are necessary as crews do permanent pavement restoration on I-35W below the new American Boulevard Bridge which is just south of I-494. The area affected by the lane closures is directly below the new bridge and is only about 200 feet in length, however traffic delays are expected.

Mn/DOT reminds motorists to SLOW DOWN in work zones and NEVER enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones. Please join us in a safety partnership. For statewide traffic, construction and travel information visit www.511mn.org or call 511.
