Be prepared to encounter traffic delays if you're driving on Interstate 94 near the Lowry Tunnel in Minneapolis on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says I-94 will close in both directions at the tunnel from midnight to 5 a.m. on Wednesday and 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Thursday while crews clean the tunnel, weather permitting.

Motorists will be detoured via the Hennepin Avenue/Lyndale Avenue exit.

MnDOT pushed back the Wednesday night closing because of expected traffic from the Minnesota Wild game in St. Paul.
