Minnesota's orange cone season is back.

Minnesota Highway 100 will close in both directions in the west metro from 10 p.m. Tuesday to 5 a.m. Wednesday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said Monday.

Highway 100 will close between Interstate 394 and Minnesota Highway 62. Crews will begin closing entrance and exit ramps along the highway at 9 p.m., Tuesday, MnDOT said. The road and ramps are expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Wednesday.

"Residents living near the construction site should expect to hear noise from large equipment throughout the night," MnDOT noted.

People who'd like to learn more about what MnDOT has in store for that stretch of Highway 100 can come to a meeting on March 30 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Groves Academy, 3200 Highway 100 South in St. Louis Park.
