Correction on the logging truck crash location, we are north of Scanlon on I-35, between Esko and Scanlon. I-35 southbound right lane is blocked as the removal of many logs are transferred to another logging truck. No injuries reported as the logging truck rear ended another semi

I-35 SB right lane is back open between Esko and Scanlon in Carlton Co. I want to thank the Cloquet Police Department and Carlton Sheriff's Department for helping us Troopers out when we really need it. All LE agencies are awesome when we are asking for help.

Please slow down and move over for us and all other emergency vehicles as we are dealing with crashes and vehicles off the road in the MSP-Duluth district. I-35 between Duluth and Moose Lake is very slippery.

I-35 southbound lanes from 21st East going into the tunnels are being shutdown due to multiple crashes that are blocking both lanes.

I will advise when southbound I-35 from 21st Ave East into the tunnels gets reopened in the Duluth area. We hope to have it open soon.

I-35 southbound lanes in the tunnels are now open again in Duluth. Please slow down, increase your following distance and turn on your lights.

MSP Duluth District responding to vehicles off the road and crashes. Visibility is an issue along with slippery road conditions. Please slow down. Passing in the left lane on I-35 creates a white-out condition for those vehicles that are passed.

Visibility on I-35 near the Midway Road is greatly reduced due to blowing snow. Please slow down, increase you following distance and have all your lights on. If you go off the road or involved in a crash, stay in your vehicle where you have protection and call 911.

Please slow down and move over for all vehicles with flashing lights. Roads in the MSP Duluth district are still very slippery, so reduce your speed, wear your seatbelt and be a defensive driver.
