I-35E lane closures to affect Tuesday and Wednesday rush hours

 

ROSEVILLE, Minn – Motorists will encounter delays during the Sept. 20 and Sept. 21 morning rush hours in St. Paul as southbound I-35E is reduced to a single lane between Hwy 5/West Seventh Street and Hwy 13.

 

The road will be reduced to a single lane beginning at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19. All lanes will open reopen by 3 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20 to accommodate the evening rush hour, and close again from 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20 to 3 p.m. Wed., Sept. 21.

 

The extended lane closure is needed to allow enough time for the new concrete to adequately cure before it can carry traffic.

Motorists are advised to plan additional travel time and use alternate routes when possible during the closures, and all work is weather dependent.

 

When complete, the project will result in a smoother ride, extended pavement life, improved drainage and improved pedestrian crossings that meet accessibility standards.
