Project Construction & Staging
During the design process, it was decided that closures and detours of TH 19 and the I-35 Ramps should be minimized to the greatest extent. As a result of that decision, the project will be constructed in 6 stages during the project. The next pages will show the proposed staging of the project, estimated durations, and if any closures are proposed.
Please keep in mind that the Contractor may propose changes to the staging to aid in constructibility and/or to reduce the duration of the individual stage or the project.
Estimated construction durations are weather-dependent.

Stage 3A
Description: Stage 3A will construct the remaining portion of the NB I-35 Entrance Ramp. The temporary bypass road and temporary NB I-35 Entrance Ramp will be removed during this stage. During this stage it is anticipated that some Stage 3B work will also begin.
Traffic Impacts: CSAH 46 (Hazelwood Ave.) will remain closed. CR 59 (Anoka Ave.) and the NB I-35 Exit Ramp will open during this stage. The NB I-35 Entrance Ramp will be closed to all TH 19 traffic.
Detour: NB I-35 Exit Ramp will continue to be detoured via the CSAH 1 Interchange, west to CSAH 46 (Bagley Avenue), and then north to TH 19. The NB I-35 Entrance Ramp detour will use the SB I-35 Entrance Ramp to the CSAH 1 interchange, then east on CSAH 1 to the NB I-35 Entrance Ramp and continue north on I-35.
Estimated Duration: 2 weeks
