Eastbound Ramps to I-494 from Penn, 1-35W Close July 5

The closures are part of the work being done on the I-494 Improvement Project.

Beginning Friday, July 5, crews will close the Penn Avenue and the I-35W ramps to eastbound I-494.

The closure will allow crews to continue work on center lanes and the medium between France and Lyndale avenues. The ramps are scheduled to reopen in mid-August.

In addition, the France Avenue ramp to eastbound I-494 is scheduled to re-open on July 3.
