Don’t forget, a concrete paving project on Interstate 35 near Faribault began Monday, July 9. I-35 motorists will encounter lane closures, head-to-head traffic, ramp detours and traffic delays – especially during peak traffic times.

Crews will pave approximately 4 miles of southbound I-35 from Rice County Road 9 to Highway 21 with an unbonded concrete overlay. Workers will also repave the Highway 21 exit ramp, extend the deceleration lane off southbound I-35 to Highway 21 and repair culverts along I-35.

Construction is expected to be completed in fall of 2018.
