During 2020 construction, all driving lanes on I-35W between Roseville and Lino Lakes are expected to remain open in both directions. Construction will occur in the middle lanes of I-35W between Co. Rd. C in Roseville and Co. Rd. J in Blaine, and on the NB lanes between Co. Rd. J and Sunset Ave. in Lino Lakes. I-35W traffic in both directions will be shifted to the outside lanes between Co. Rd. C and Co. Rd. J while crews pave the middle of I-35W through summer.

There will be some short-term closures of I-35W ramps. No two consecutive ramps will be closed at the same time. All traffic impacts are tentative and weather dependent.

Project schedule and staging

The I-35W North MnPASS project will be done in stages. Learn more about the stages and anticipated schedule.

Night Work

Some work will need to occur at night, especially if temporary additional lane closures are needed. Crews will try to minimize night work and noise, but please expect to hear overnight activity periodically. If night work needs to occur on local streets or an activity is expected to be particularly noisy, updates will be posted and sent out by email. Sign up for email updates.

Local traffic mitigation

MnDOT has installed temporary traffic control on local roads to manage local road impacts due to construction.
