Has anyone traveled north bound on I35 into southern minnesota today? I am tonite and I heard there were major delays yesterday between mile marker 32 and 42.
Anyone have info from tonight?
Anything appreciated! Thanks!
Caused by road construction...
New bridges are being put in for US 14/US218 over I35 just south of Owatonna. It's part of the US 14 bypass around Waseca. See the link below.
I've had to cover a couple accidents up around that interchange (I believe MM40) on southbound 35 this summer, none recently though. Road is reduced to one lane in the area and traffic can get backed up pretty easily. Just take it easy through there and you'll be fine.
I haven't noticed anything major going on to NB 35 in that area though.
