There were multiple crashes and vehicles off the road today in NE Minnesota. Please slow down, increase your following distance and give the snow plows plenty of room so they can make the roads as safe as possible for all of us.

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.

Watch out for standing water on the roadways today. MSP and the Pine County Sheriff's Department are both responding to vehicles in the ditch in Pine County on I-35 near milepost 171, Hwy 70 east of I-35 and Hwy 48 east of I-35.

Southbound Hwy 53 and the northbound ramp from I-35 is now open again in Duluth. MSP is investigating the 6-vehicle crash that involved a tractor-trailer. 4 people were transported to Duluth hospitals with non-life- threatening injuries.

Another busy day for MSP troopers in the Duluth District. Since 7PM Sunday to 2PM today, troopers responded to 55 traffic related events. 3 of these crashes involved 2 MSP patrol cars and 1 St Louis Co rescue truck that were struck while out with vehicles in the ditch.

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.

Please use caution when driving in and around the Duluth area today. MSP, Duluth PD, Hermantown PD, Proctor PD and the St Louis Co Sheriff's Department have been busy with crashes most of the day. The calls continue to come in. Please be aware that the roads have icy spots.

Due to an oversize load that is blocking, I-35 southbound ramp to northbound Hwy 53/21st ave west along with the ramp from 535 to southbound I-35 and northbound Hwy 53 are closed at this time. I will update when they are back open.

The ramp from 535 to go southbound 35 and northbound 53 are now open in Duluth. The ramp from southbound I-35 to northbound Hwy 53/21st Ave west remains closed. We are hoping to have that ramp open soon as well.

We just opened up the ramp from southbound I-35 to Hwy 53, so all the ramps are back open again in Duluth.
