Interstate 35 traffic is fully open again as the bridge replacement project winds down south of Owatonna, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Traffic had been traveling in single lanes in each direction as crews removed crossover lanes and did other work in the median.

The northbound Straight River Rest Area is open, too.

Lane restrictions remain on Highway 14 south Owatonna, east of I-35 as crews finish final work related to the bridge replacements. Work there should wrap up next week.

This bridge replacement project was a two-year effort south of Owatonna. Twelve bridges were replaced over two years on I-35 and Hwy 14. Bridges on southbound I-35 and eastbound Hwy 14 were replaced last year.

Two bridges on I-35 that were damaged by a vehicle crash last year were added into the project.
