MnDOT: Garfield Avenue Expected To Reopen Nov. 11

Another critical connection around the Blatnik Bridge is getting close to re-opening to traffic.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation told FOX 21 that a newly constructed section of Garfield Avenue is expected to reopen Nov. 11.

This means drivers will be able to exit the Blatnik by taking Garfield Avenue and other access points with the port area and near Goodwill.

However, a missing piece of the new I-535, which connects to the Blatnik from I-35 will remain missing until sometime next year because the site was identified as an area of cultural significance.

Temporary bypass lanes are in place.
