Two I-35W ramps closing for three weeks

Two ramps on northbound I-35W in Minneapolis will be closed for three weeks, beginning July 6.

The entrance ramp from 35th Street and the exit ramp to 31st Street from the freeway will close at 5 a.m. on July 6.

The closures are part of the I-35W/Highway 62 Crosstown reconstruction project. Crews will continue construction of an additional northbound lane on I-35W during the closures.

Department of Transportation officials recommend motorists slow down in work zones and avoid entering roadways that have been blocked with barriers or cones. Drivers should follow the posted detours during the closures.
