About this project
The travel lanes, shoulders, ramps and bridges along I-35 and I-35E between Elko and Eagan are in need of repairs. This project will address and improve these areas. A business liaison will work with local businesses to address specific concerns with construction.
Traffic impacts
A significant portion of the work will affect traffic and is likely to result in congestion. Expect temporary lane closures and detours as work is completed within segments of roadway.

- No two adjacent intersections will be closed simultaneously.
Benefits
