I-35 ramp closures at Lake Avenue in Duluth extended

DULUTH, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will be extending the closures of the I-35 as additional concrete work needs to occur before ramps can be reopened. The extent of work needed was greater than originally planned for and is taking longer than expected. Crews continue to work in the area, and lanes will be reopened as soon as possible. MnDOT currently expects ramps to reopen by Oct. 11.

The following ramps to and from I-35 remain closed:

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

The ramps will reopen as soon as possible, and detour signage is posted. Lanes will continue to be closed on I-35 northbound and southbound between 5th Avenue West and 13th Avenue East (north termini of tunnels).

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 .
