Interstate 35W will close in both directions between Interstate 94 and Minnesota Highway 62 in Minneapolis starting Friday at 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. Monday. You've probably heard that during the week, but as the closure draws near we thought it'd be worth one more shout.

The Friday night closure kicks off three weekends of expected highway hassles tied to the 35W@94 project.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to close I-94 between Interstate 394 and I-35W starting at 10 p.m. Friday, June 8 until 5 a.m. Mon, June 11.

The agency also plans another closure of I-35W the weekend after, from 10 p.m. Friday, June 15 to 5 a.m. Monday, June 18, between I-94 and Highway 62.
