The Minnesota Department of Transportation reports that northbound Interstate 35 has reopened this morning between Mahtowa and Highway 210 / Carlton.

Southbound I-35 remains closed in that area.

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.

  • Highway 53 is now open past the Miller Hill Mall. Maple Grove Road is open in the same area; parts of Mall Drive remain closed
