Clogged artery: I-35W closure tops Twin Cities weekend road woes

Think single lane traffic stinks? This weekend you'll have to do without Interstate 35W in the north metro, which will shut down for a bridge demolition.

It's the biggest construction hassle the Minnesota Department of Transportation has planned for the next few days.

While this weekend's map looks a little less packed than last week, driving around will still require a heads-up for detours. Here are some of the weekend's biggest potential troublemakers:

I-35W Arden Hills, Mounds View. The highway closes from 10 p.m. Friday night to 5 a.m. Monday between Interstate 694 and the west junction of I-35W and Highway 10 for demolition of the County Road H bridge.

Highway 280, St. Paul, Lauderdale. Minnesota Highway 280 traffic is a single lane in each direction between Broadway Street and Como Avenue. Continuing through this weekend: The interchange of Highway 280 and I-35W will be closed through mid-July.

I-94 bridges in St. Paul. The Victoria Street bridge is closed through June 15. Continuing this weekend: The Cretin Avenue bridge is closed through Monday and the Prior Avenue bridge is closed through early August.
