Minnesota road conditions right now

Report

Labor Day 2026 in Minnesota

What the 511MN feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Minnesota

I-35 runs from the Iowa border up through the Twin Cities to Duluth. I-94 crosses the state from the Wisconsin line through the Twin Cities and St. Cloud toward Fargo. I-90 runs the southern edge of the state, farm country from the South Dakota line to the Wisconsin line. US-2 and US-53 serve the north, and MN-61 hugs Lake Superior up the North Shore.

What the season does to Minnesota's highways

Blizzards and ice close I-94 and I-90 across the open south and west, and MnDOT posts no-travel advisories by county and closures by route on 511MN. In the metro the I-35 fork matters. I-35W runs through Minneapolis and I-35E through St. Paul, each with its own mile markers, so a report of a crash on 35 needs the letter. MnDOT publishes where its plows are in winter.

Before a Minnesota road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open 511MN for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Minnesota cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-90, I-94 and I-35 corridor pages carry alerts for every state the route crosses, not only Minnesota.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same 511MN alerts show on your route as you drive.

What September looked like

Over 25 daily snapshots from September 1 to 25, 2026, MileCheck's archive of the 511MN feed held 317 unique reports, including 62 closure reports, 49 crash reports and 192 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were US-169, I-35 and US-61. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the September Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Minnesota right now?

The map above shows every full closure 511MN is publishing as a red marker, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. It reloads every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open 511MN.

Where do I check Minnesota road conditions?

511MN is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same 511MN feed and adds the Minnesota cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the 511MN feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same 511MN alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. 511MN alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
