Over the next few months, construction activities will increase as part of MnDOT's 35W@94 project, including major impacts to bus service in the corridor. Starting in June, many routes will be detoured off of I-35W onto neighborhood streets.
What should I do as a regular bus rider?
-
Sign up to receive Rider Alerts by text or email regarding your particular route. Stay in the know so you can plan accordingly as construction continues.
-
Know your route detour and any changes to where you board. Most bus detours will begin in June. Some detours, including on Routes 2 and 23, have already begun.
-
Learn about additional bus service and park and ride options on metrotransit.org/35W. Starting on June 9, additional trips will be added to express bus routes serving south Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, Edina, and Lakeville, to help provide more options for people traveling through the construction zone.

-
Try alternate work strategies during the work week: starting work earlier or later, work from home or remote office at least one day a week, or use your bike to reach a bus or train. All buses and trains have bike racks.
