Motorists in St. Paul will encounter delays and a detour on Pennsylvania Avenue/Phalen Boulevard as both directions of the road close at Interstate 35E, Wednesday, Aug. 13.
The road will close before morning rush hours Aug. 13, and will remain closed for approximately two weeks. Motorists will be detoured to Jackson Street, University Avenue and Olive Street to bypass the closure.
The closure will allow crews to lower a portion of Pennsylvania Avenue/Phalen Boulevard in order to avoid height restrictions when constructing the new I-35E bridges spanning the roadway. After reopening, Pennsylvania Avenue/Phalen Boulevard will remain a single lane in each direction at I-35E through approximately late 2015 for bridge construction.
The I-35E Cayuga Improvement Project aims to reconstruct I-35E between University Avenue and Maryland Avenue, including replacement of the Cayuga Bridge, the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge and the railroad bridges along I-35E.
