Here's a look at what some of you'll be coming to terms with soon. MnDOT has more at its site.

Minnesota Highway 51, St Paul, Roseville. Starting Monday, the ramp from Como Avenue to northbound Highway 51/Snelling Avenue will be closed through May 10. The highway is one lane in each direction between Como Avenue and Minnesota Highway 36 through October.

Interstate 94, St. Paul to Maplewood. On Monday, the Maple Street pedestrian bridge over I-94 will be closed for about two weeks. Drivers should expect lane restrictions in both directions, traffic delays and temporary exit/entrance ramp closures as project work continues between St. Paul and Maplewood. Watch for ramp closures and detours.

Interstate 94, Minneapolis to Brooklyn Center.Part of this has already started — the ramp from 3rd Street to westbound I-94 is down to one lane. Starting Monday, there'll be a bunch of ramp closures, including the westbound I-94 off ramp to Hennepin/Lyndale Avenues and westbound I-94 to southbound Lyndale Avenue.

Highway 100, St. Louis Park. Oh, yes. It's never quite over on Highway 100. Beginning Monday, the southbound Highway 100 ramp to 50th Street/Vernon Avenue is expected to be closed through Friday, April 28 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

Clarification (April 25, 2017): An earlier version of this story was unclear on whether the Highway 100 closure was a ramp or a road closure. It's a ramp closure.
