I-94 west closure tops Twin Cities weekend traffic woes
If you're going to the U2 concert Friday night at U.S. Bank Stadium, make sure to soak it all in and live in the moment because it could be a pain to get home later.
While concertgoers are enjoying the show, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will be shutting down Interstate 94 west from Interstate 394 to Interstate 694.
That's likely the biggest hassle drivers will face the next couple days. Here's a guide to some of the others. Check out the MnDOT website for the complete list.
