Interstate 35W - Minneapolis, Minnesota - October, 2022

Drivelapse video of the several freeways of Minneapolis, starting on Interstate 94 before quickly transitioning to MN-610 and heading easterly along US-10 until it meets I-35W. The video then follows I-35W southerly through Downtown Minneapolis before ending just south of I-494 in the southern suburbs.

The twin cities region seems to have a very extensive freeway network for a metro of it's size, kind of like Kansas City. The freeways look really modern and aesthetically pleasing from what I've seen.

I really enjoyed the music on this one and Minneapolis surprised me, some very nice infrastructure on display in this video.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Glad you enjoyed it

In the northwestern suburbs of Minneapolis, it's cool to see MN 610 which is a complete freeway signed as a state highway. Also, I-35W MN through Minneapolis is outstanding with the western portion of an interchange with I-94 having the reconstruction and new ramp configuration complete.

Thanks for the comment.

Wonderful drive with wonderful skies! MN Highway 610 is a well-built freeway through the Northern Twin Cities suburbs, as it is one of the newest freeways in the Metro. Also on I-35W, the Smart-Lane gantries were removed a few years ago and upgraded the left lane to an E-ZPass Lane in 2021. Previously was a MnPass Lane.

Thank you for the comment.

My family used to always drive down to catch Minnesota Vikings and Twins games back in the day!

Wow! What a great video from Minnesota’s Twin Cities! Planning to do Alaska, Hawaii, or Mexico?

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

No wonder Minneapolis freeways have light traffic than in the Toronto area! That's why they have an extensive freeway network!

[@stevepalmberg5905]

First time seen anyone cover 610

[@bytor55110]

My channel has a video covering 610 before it opened west to Interstate 94 (it was from August, 2011).

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great drive! Did you know that Minnesota was a recent state to join E-ZPass in 2021?

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I did know that thank you. My last visit was in 2017, and all the signs still referenced MnPass at that point.

It's a bit hard to believe that there's another Minneapolis/St-Paul video just after 5 months, while the last hiatus from A video from that serie was almost 5 years. A (not so) fun fact about Minneapolis, it has one of the most common number of Police brutalities. For example, we all remember George Floyd's death, in may 2020, which I mentionned him on your last Minneapolis/St-Paul video. Oh, btw, I recently saw a trailer of a movie of Super Mario, that is set to be released this year, according to the trailer, it looks like super epic! Oh, & I know that I should mention this on you last LA video, but right now, there's a huge blizzard on that aera. So, if you planned to go there this spring, I'm afraid you'll have to delay it & finally, yesterday was my mom's birthday, she's 50 years old

Thanks for the comment. Some of the photos of snow in the Los Angeles area were pretty neat to see. Definitely not a common sight. Happy Birthday to your mom.

[@jayiifulbackup393]

Great video of Minneapolis! Do you ever plan on visiting Oregon or Washington? They got some pretty nice roads there

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

I would like to visit both places but I don’t have immediate plans to do so. I have been to both places before I started filming videos.

[@GreatAussieDrives]

Awesome drive! Love Minnesota, some good views especially of downtown at 6:19 IMO! This might offend some locals but 35W should just become I-35, and 35E an auxiliary Interstate. Sorry St Paul 🤪

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Minneapolis has a really neat freeway network in my opinion. Thanks for the comment.

[@InterstateRaziTV]

Nice Mpls Drive

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

Thank you.

[@AminaMubarak-hz5vh]

Awesome 35w every one take the exit then turn left onto east lake street

[@stevepalmberg5905]

610 thank Jesse Ventura

[@AminaMubarak-hz5vh]

Wrong wrong wrong you’re all wrong

[@ChatGPT1111]

Nice drive and video. Too bad this part of MN is now yet another decaying dangerous crime-friendly metro due to the terrible policies the area.

[@SlowedByCinnamxn]

No surprise since that’s in the largest two cities in the state.
