Project Description
This project, also known as the Cayuga Project, is located on I-35E between University Avenue and Maryland Avenue in St. Paul.
The project includes replacement of the Cayuga Street bridge, Pennsylvania Avenue bridge and railroad bridges along I-35E. A major change within the area will be the replacement of the existing Pennsylvania Avenue/I-35E interchange with a new interchange at Cayuga Street, which will help correct existing safety and operational issues and provide better freeway access for St. Paul’s Phalen Boulevard corridor.
I-35E will be constructed along a new alignment between Maryland Ave. and University Ave. The new roadway will also have an auxiliary lane added in each direction for additional capacity, along with improved roadway layout.
The Maryland Avenue bridge also will be reconstructed, although the Maryland Avenue bridge replacement is a separate project from the larger Cayuga project.
Benefits
- Replaces bridges currently on the state’s Chapter 152 list for bridge replacement
- Provides geometric improvements for the interchanges and I-35E, which will provide safety and operation improvements for this section of the corridor
- Provides better interchange spacing between Maryland Avenue and University Avenue by shifting the interchange from Pennsylvania Avenue to Cayuga Street
- Provides improved access for St. Paul’s Phalen Boulevard
