View full-size mapWe are studying the I-35/I-90 interchange corridor near Albert Lea and how best to improve safety and address aging bridges to provide a smoother, more effective travel experience for all who use it.

We want to hear from you!

Take our brief survey and participate in showing us where you see traffic issues arise or where you have concerns. It's quick and easy, and gets your views included in the discussion!

The I-35/I-90 interchange is an important crossroads for freight traffic and travelers. The eastbound and westbound bridges on I-90 were built in 1968 and need improvements soon. We plan to replace the two I-90 bridges and make some ramp improvements starting in 2030. We currently only have funding identified for this work.

The corridor study may identify other improvements, which will help in the pursuit of other funding opportunities or provide important information for future projects.

Public meeting

Join us for a public meeting to learn more about the study and provide input about the I-35/I-90 and I-35/Main Street interchanges. The project team is reviewing and evaluating alternative interchange options within the corridor. There is not a formal presentation planned. Individuals unable to attend are encouraged to provide their observations and feedback through a comment map. These discussions will shape the plans developed for the interchange.

Wednesday, Oct. 23
