I-394 east in Minneapolis expected to close for 6 hours Wednesday
Expect some hassles Wednesday as Interstate 394 east in Minneapolis closes east of 11th Street for maintenance project work from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Minnesota Department of Transportation says.
The closure is needed so electrician can search for an electrical problem, MnDOT spokesperson Dave Aeikens said in a statement.
"It has nothing to do with the freeway but crews need to work on the freeway to figure out what the problem is. MnDOT issues permits to close highways when appropriate to construction companies and contractors so they can work safely," Aeikens said.
A detour will be posted to guide drivers into downtown Minneapolis. Access to Fourth Street and Third Avenue will be closed.
