May 20 Road Construction Updates

Latest and greatest for moving around I-35. You will notice the 40th ave west exit (northbound) changed a little, when you get to stop sign you will not be able to make left onto 40th right there. You will have to go 1 block further to next overpass to get to 40th. Don’t go back onto I-35, just past the on ramp to I-35 you will see the left. Just one more step in your travels. Thank you!!!!!!

I-35 in Duluth

May 20, 2010

The Duluth Mega Project has been in full swing for three weeks. So far delays, even on the weekends, have been minimal.

A major traffic switch will occur on Monday, May 24. Traffic will be placed in single lanes in the northbound lanes of I-35 from Boundary Avenue to about 40th Avenue West in Duluth.

Traffic will continue to be in single lanes north of 40th Avenue West, but will not be switched until the following week.

The traffic switch will result in the following ramp closures:

  • Central Avenue on-ramp to southbound I-35
  • Southbound I-35 off-ramp to Grand Avenue
  • Westbound Hwy 2 (46th Avenue West/Bong Bridge) on-ramp to southbound I-35. Will be detoured to 40th Avenue west on-ramp.
  • Westbound Hwy 2 off-ramp to Proctor

Access to northbound and southbound I-35 will be available at 40th Avenue West, 27th Avenue West and Cody Street.

The posted speed limit is 45 mph through the entire construction zone.
