Summer may be winding down, but the road hassles continue.

 
The Minnesota Department of Transportation says more Twin Cities freeways will temporarily close starting Thursday night as a busy construction season continues.


Here's what to expect if you're heading out:


Interstate 94 east and west between Interstate 394 and Interstate 35W will be closed overnight Thursday — Sept. 6 — as crews pour concrete on a bridge deck and wash the Lowry Tunnel. Motorists will be detoured to I-35W, Highway 62 and Highway 100. The closure will last from 10 p.m. Thursday until 5 a.m. Friday.
 


Next week, I-94 east and west from I-394 to I-35W will be closed overnight Monday — Sept. 10 — as crews pour concrete on a bridge deck, wash a tunnel and do lighting work. The detours are I-35W, Highway 62 and Highway 100.


I-35W south between I-94 and Highway 62 will be closed overnight Thursday, Sept. 13 as MnDOT crews work on the new 26th Street bridge. The detour is I-94 west to I-394 west to Highway 100 south to Highway 62 east.


I-35W in both directions will be closed for a full weekend Sept. 14 through 17, as work continues around the 28th Street bridge. The closure starts at 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, and ends by 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 17. I-35W north will be closed from Highway 62 to I-94, and south from I-94 to 46th Street.
