I-35E closures to affect Friday rush hours
ROSEVILLE, Minn – Motorists will encounter delays in St. Paul on Friday, Sept. 30 as lane closures occur on Interstate 35E spanning the Mississippi River occur over the morning and evening rush hours.
Southbound I-35E will be reduced to a single lane between Hwy5/West Seventh Street and Shepard Road from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday.
Northbound I-35E will be reduced to a single lane between Shepard Road and Hwy 5/West Seventh Street from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday.
The closures are needed so crews can complete concrete rehabilitation work as part of the I-35E resurfacing and repair project.
After crews complete the work near the river, Southbound I-35E will be closed for the weekend between I-494 and Lone Oak Road.
The road closure begins at 10 p.m. Friday and all lanes will be open by 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 3. A detour will direct motorists along westbound I-494 to southbound Hwy 77 and back to I-35E.
When complete, the project will result in a smoother ride, extended pavement life, improved drainage and improved pedestrian crossings on I-35E between Hwy 5 in St. Paul and Lone Oak Road in Eagan.
