The Minnesota Department of Transportation reports that Interstate 35 remains closed in both directions this morning between Highway 210 / Carlton and Mahtowa.

The DOT said people posted at the barricades on I-35 are trying to help drivers find alternate routes, but that's a challenge given the other roads that are closed around the area from flooding.

Interstate 35 is open across the city of Duluth.

Here are some updates on other roads in the Northland, provided this morning by the DOT and other sources:

  • As of 6:15 a.m., Highways 2/53 at the Nemadji River in Superior reportedly were open, but with water on the road and some lane restrictions.
