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.
May 3–June 6
Southbound I-35E closed between County Road 42 and the I-35/35W/35E split. Motorists are encouraged to follow the signed detour using westbound I-494 and southbound I-35W. These closures are necessary as crews replace the deck for the I-35E Bridge spanning I-35W.
Intermittent temporary lane closures both directions of 35E between County Road 42 and Cliff Road as crews build crossovers.
Future traffic impacts
Four-lane segments of road will be reduced to two lanes (one lane in each direction).
All businesses and residences will remain accessible throughout the project.
No two adjacent intersections will be closed simultaneously.
