This page details the I-35E/694 duplex north of St. Paul as well as "Unweave the Weave", MnDOT's multi-year project to reconstruct the duplex and its approaches.

Northbound Photos

	Northbound guide signage approaching the ramp from northbound I-35E to westbound I-694.  The Little Canada Rd exit is in the far background.  Little Canada Rd marks the beginning location for northbound I-35E reconstruction as part of "Unweave the Weave".  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.
	Northbound I-35E exit to westbound I-694/US 10.  This ramp will be moved to a right-side exit as part of "Unweave the Weave".  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.
	Just north of the duplex is an advance guide sign for the County Road E exit.  County Road E marks the northern extent of reconstruction under the "Unweave the Weave" project.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.

Southbound Photos

	Southbound on I-35E at the first advance guide sign for I-694 East, about 1/2 mile north of County Road E.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.
	The 1/2 mile advance guide sign for the I-694 East exit, with the County Road E overpass overhead.  The County Road E bridge was rebuilt large enough to accommodate additional lanes on I-35E, and this location will mark the start of southbound reconstruction as part of "Unweave the Weave".  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.
	The southbound exit to I-694 East.  This ramp will also be moved to a right-side exit as part of "Unweave the Weave".  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.

Eastbound Photos

	Eastbound I-694 at the CSAH 49/Rice St overpass.  This general location marks the western extent of the upcoming "Unweave the Weave" project.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 4, 2006.

	Eastbound at the I-35E South exit.  US 10 gets "handed off" from I-694 onto I-35E here.  On the left are cranes already working on what will be the future NB 35E to WB 694 ramp.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 4, 2006.
	Eastbound I-694 underneath southbound I-35E.  The lane drop ahead is just one of many geometric problems with the 35E/694 duplex that the "Unweave the Weave" project will fix.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 4, 2006.
	Overhead signage for the NB/EB I-35E/694 split.  The Edgerton St overpass is in the far background.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 4, 2006.
	Eastbound at the I-35E/694 split.  The construction in the background is working on what will be future westbound I-694.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 4, 2006.
	This left-side on-ramp is from southbound I-35E to eastbound I-694.  The "Unweave the Weave" project will move this onramp to the righthand side.  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 4, 2006.

 

Westbound Photos

	A westbound merge where westbound I-694 traffic (on the right) must merge into traffic from the northbound 35E to westbound 694 ramp (on the left).  The ramp from northbound 35E will become a right-side merge as part of "Unweave the Weave".  Photo by Don Greiskalns, taken March 12, 2006.
