We could use a little help with direactions re; the bride that collapsed. We are heading up to the Rainy river and normally go thru minn. St paul to St Cloud . Is there a detour or how do you get thru that area? Thank you in Advance for any help.
you should be fine. no need to go by the 35W bridge
I am guessing that you go through the cities on highway 94 west. If that is so then you should miss the bridge area. It should be clear sailing. 
Thanks guys, I knew there would be some local insight. Very much appreciated.
You may wanna take 494 through Richfeild/Bloomington.Not sure how much road construction there is up that way. I know I avoid the 94 thing since then and go up 494 to 94. 
Take 35 E at the split in Burnsville it meets back up in Forest Lake.
We have a cabin north of Grand Rapids. If I were you I would stay away from Hwy 169 all together. If I leave my house and take 169 to Grand Rapids, depending on traffic, it can take 4 hours. Needless to say I don’t go that way anymore. If I were you coming from Bettendorf. I would come up thru St. Paul and take 35E north. In forrest Lake it becomes 35W. Take that north to Moose Lake (about an hour and a half) in Moose Lake take hwy 73 north to Hwy 2 (about 40 miles) then head west on Hwy 2 to Grand Rapids. From there you can get to Rainy however you want. Heading to Grand Rapids this way for me takes a little over 3 hours and there is never really any trffic. Feel free to PM me if you want more details. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on the river.
