Business Loop I-35 - Albert Lea

Business Loop I-35 overlaps with the northernmost 6.5 miles of U.S. 65 through Albert Lea. The route winds northwest along an arterial from Exit 8 through the south side of the city to Broadway Avenue. Broadway Avenue leads due north to Downtown, where U.S. 65/Business Loop I-35 turn east at Main Street (MN 13). Main Street (old U.S. 16) travels across an isthmus between Albert Lea and Fountain Lakes to residential areas of east Albert Lea, where it expands into an expressway. Both routes end at a wye interchange (Exit 12), just south of the I-35 exchange with Interstate 90.
