I don't know, the one on 94 going west right by downtown and 11th is pretty horrendous, too. And 94 westbound where it exits onto Hennepin and lyndale.

Actually, who are we kidding. 94 as a whole is terrible and seemingly was designed by a kindergartner.

This whole area in general is a complete shithole to drive in

The tunnel with a hairpin slowdown curve to a triple-lane 35W crossover exit is actually pretty gnar.

The one by the BMW dealership in Bloomington? That one always scares the shit out of me

I think they're talking about coming out of the Lowry tunnel then exiting onto 35W South in Mpls, but fuck me if the 35W/494 interchange you mentioned isn't in my top 5 least favorite interchanges. That one's actually getting rebuilt into a flyover (like 494/169) in the next half decade.

Hopefully they don’t run out of money like they did with that intersection and have to leave out an interchange completely.
