Intermittent closures of Minnehaha Parkway and Minnehaha Creek scheduled through mid-October
Motorists will continue to encounter detours on Minnehaha Parkway at Interstate 35W through mid-October. Part of the Crosstown reconstruction project, the closures are needed as crews continue demolition of the northbound I-35W bridge above Minnehaha Parkway.
Minnehaha Creek itself will also continue to be closed to water traffic during the parkway 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 impact 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/Highway 62 Crosstown Reconstruction project, visit 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.
