Good news for drivers who travel Interstate 94 between Minneapolis and St. Paul: All lanes will be back open next week, after months of construction. But ahead of that — there’s a weekend closure.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation said eastbound I-94 will be closed this weekend — from 10 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday — from Interstate 35W to Highway 280.

A longer stretch of the westbound lanes of I-94 will be closed, from I-35E to I-35W.

Traffic will be detoured to Highway 36. Expect traffic delays — especially with the Vikings, Lynx and Twins all playing home games in Minneapolis on Saturday.

I-94 has been down to just two lanes in each direction near the Mississippi River since last spring, as part of a bridge repair project.
