Intermittent nighttime lane restrictions on I-35W start July 6
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Motorists will encounter intermittent nighttime lane restrictions on northbound and southbound Interstate 35W between I-494 and Burnsville Parkway beginning on Monday, July 6 and continuing through Friday, July 17. Traffic will be periodically reduced to one lane in each direction from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly.
Intermittent, nighttime ramp closures will also be in place on northbound and southbound
I-35W between I-494 and Burnsville Parkway during this time.
The work is part of the ongoing reconstruction of I-35W from Burnsville to downtown Minneapolis that is funded by the Urban Partnership Agreement. The UPA projects will improve traffic flow by reducing congestion on I-35W, Hwy 77/Cedar Avenue and in downtown Minneapolis using transit, road pricing, technology and telecommuting.
The UPA is funded by $133.3 million in federal funds and $50.2 million in matching state funds.
Mn/DOT reminds motorists to slow down in work zones and never enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones. For statewide traffic, construction and travel information visit www.511mn.org or call 5-1-1 or log onto www.mndot.gov.
