Intermittent Minnehaha Parkway closures begin Aug. 17
ROSEVILLE, Minn. — Motorists will encounter detours on Minnehaha Parkway at Interstate 35W due to intermittent road closures beginning on Monday, August 17 and continuing through mid-September. Part of the Crosstown reconstruction project, the closures are needed as crews demolish the northbound I-35W bridge spanning Minnehaha Parkway.
During the closures, at least one pedestrian or bike path along Minnehaha Creek at I-35W will remain open; however, the path may be intermittently closed to safely conduct work.
Motorists should follow the posted detour route.
During the closures, access across I-35W will be available at the 42nd Street bridge, 46th Street bridge, 50th Street bridge, Diamond Lake Road bridge, and the 60th Street underpass.
The bridge demolition will not affect traffic on northbound I-35W, as traffic from 49th Street to the Highway 62 junction has been re-routed to the southbound lanes of I-35W.
For more information on the I-35W/Hwy 62 Crosstown Reconstruction project, visit http://www.dot.state.mn.us/projects/crosstown or call the Crosstown Project hotline at 1-866/743-6590 or send an e-mail to crosstown@rranow.com.
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 511 or log onto www.mndot.gov.
