Minnehaha Parkway to close on June 8

Minnehaha Parkway at Interstate 35W in Minneapolis will close in Sunday evening, June 8, and remain closed until Saturday, June 14. Part of the I-35W/Highway 62 Crosstown reconstruction project, the closure is needed to set bridge beams above Minnehaha Parkway.

During the closure, at least one pedestrian or bike path along Minnehaha Creek at I-35W will remain open; however, the path may be intermittently closed to safely conduct work.

Motorists should follow the posted detour route. Motorists may cross I-35W at 38th Street, 42nd Street, Diamond Lake Road and 60th Street.
The bridge reconstruction will not impact traffic on southbound I-35W because traffic from 46th Street to 60th Street has been temporarily rerouted along northbound lanes of I-35W.
