Additional I-35 ramps at Lake Avenue in Duluth to close July 29
DULUTH, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will be changing traffic control on I-35 and at Lake Avenue in Duluth for the concrete resurfacing project. Starting on Monday, July 29, the following ramps to and from I-35 will close:
- I-35 northbound off-ramp to Lake Avenue bridge
- I-35 southbound off-ramp to Lake Avenue bridge
- I-35 southbound on-ramp from Lake Avenue bridge
- I-35 northbound on-ramp from Lake Avenue bridge
- I-35 northbound on-ramp from Michigan Street
Additionally, the I-35 southbound exit 256B Lake Avenue/5th Avenue West will be closed entirely for the week of July 29 to allow for concrete work on the 5th Avenue West leg of the exit.
Lanes will continue to be closed on I-35 northbound and southbound between 5th Avenue West and 13th Avenue East (north termini of tunnels).
These closures have been accelerated and need to be completed concurrently due to additional concrete work needing to be completed as a part of the planned construction project. Ramps are expected to reopen by September 7 and will open sooner if possible. Detour signage will be posted.
This project is part of a two-year project with concrete pavement repairs and bridge work in the Duluth section of I-35. Please visit the project website for additional information: mndot.gov/d1/projects/i-35-duluth-bridges .
