We've just received word from the Minnesota Department Of Transportation that I-35, just south of Duluth will close temporarily for emergency road repairs on Tuesday, June 26, from 5:30 a.m. to approximately 8:30 a.m. The closed area will be from the southbound I-35 on-ramp at Highway 61 to Scanlon.

Highway 61 and Highway 45 will be used as an alternate route.

The emergency road patching repairs are needed as a result of the torrential rain associated with the June 19 storm that passed through northeastern Minnesota.

They are also reporting that Highway 2 in Duluth from Boundary Avenue to Interstate 35 is closed due to extensive road and utility damage.  It will remain closed until further notice.

A detour is in place that directs motorists to the Boundary Avenue ramp. The detour is well marked.
