St. Louis County City of Duluth	Northbound view entering I-35 from Lake Avenue. Ahead is the first of four tunnels that I-35 will pass through on its way to its northern terminus at the intersection of 26th Avenue East and London Road, the southern terminus of MN 61. The design of I-35 between Mesaba Avenue and its current northern terminus that includes these four tunnels won “Excellence in Highway Design” awards in 1992 and 1994.
