It was too good to be true!  Many Northlanders have been surprised this summer that there were no road construction projects on I-35 between the Twin Ports and the Twin Cities.

That's about to change on Monday, September 8 as crews with the Minnesota Department of Transportation start a resurfacing project near Hinckley.

Drivers in that area can expect daytime lane closures and delays. The Highway 48 interchange ramps will close for one day at a time, dates to be determined. Motorists will be detoured on Highway 23 interchange ramps and County Road 61.

The project includes the area from one mile south of Hinckley to 1.5 miles north of Hinckley.

Work is expected to be completed by October 9.
