Work on I-35 southbound to be deferred until 2025

The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced Thursday it will postpone all southbound bridge, paving and ramp work on I-35 near Hinckley until 2025. MnDOT says construction on northbound I-35 will be completed by the end of October. Drivers can expect single lane head-to-head traffic until that time.

The I-35 project was scheduled to take place over two years, but officials say more work needs to occur in 2025 than originally planned. The public can expect all southbound construction including the rail bridge, southbound Grindstone River bridge and southbound Highway 48 on and off ramps to be completed in 2025.
