Atkinson Bridge Rehabilitation

Carlton County

Traffic impacts

Traffic on I-35 is in a head-to-head, single lane format on the northbound lanes. This traffic configuration is expected to last through late August.

Carlton County Road 61 will close June 24 for concrete bridge pouring. Motorists will be detoured via County Road 61 to County Road 4 to County Road 5.

The Munger Trail underneath the bridge will remain open. Bicyclists and pedestrians should expect occasional routing onto County Road 61 and flaggers to assist in safely crossing underneath the bridge during working hours.
