Expect delays as MnDOT reduces northbound and southbound traffic to a single lane from Apple Valley to Cliff Road.
The road work may have already started on Interstate 35E, but the most significant portions of the project—and the worst traffic headaches—have yet to come. Starting in mid-June, the northbound and southbound sides of the interstate will be reduced to a single lane from just north of 150th Street in Apple Valley to Cliff Road in Eagan as the Minnesota Department of Transportation repairs bridges and does surfacing work.
