- Eastbound bicyclists: Northbound Nicollet Ave. to eastbound 28th St. to southbound 5th Ave.
- Pedestrians: Nicollet Ave., 28th St. and 5th Ave.
Connect with the 35W@94: Downtown to Crosstown project from home
While Minnesotans stay home, you can still connect with the 35W@94 project. Explore the project corridor through a virtual self-guided tour, watch a drone flight to see construction progress, read the project blog or download an activity book to do yourself or with kids. Be sure to view all eight stops on the online self-guided tour to learn about the history of I-35W, project benefits and construction features like the huge water storage tanks being constructed under the road. Each stop along the tour features artwork created by students from local schools.
