I-35 construction near Barnum traffic switch July 7

On the evening of Thursday, July 7, I-35 northbound traffic near Barnum will be switched over to the southbound lanes. Traffic will be traveling in a head-to-head configuration for approximately 70 days. The closure of northbound lanes will also close Exit 220/Carlton County Road 6 and a detour will be posted.

The northbound lanes will resurface the highway and replace the existing concrete unbonded overlay. The project is expected to be complete in early October. Motorists should expect delays during peak travel times on weekends.

I-35 concrete repairs near Moose Lake to start July 11

Starting July 11, MnDOT crews will be completing concrete repairs from a heat blowout on I-35 southbound just south of the Moose Lake entrance ramp. Work will require a closure of the right lane for one week and a closure of the left lane the following week. Lanes will reopen for the weekend, and all work will be completed by July 22.

This work is south of the I-35 construction work near Barnum. More information about that project can be found on the website:  mndot.gov.us/d1/projects/i35-barnum/index.html.
