Southbound I-35W will be closed between I-94 and Minnesota Highway 62 from 10 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday. 

And a heads up — this will hurt for south Minneapolis residents because most exit ramps off I-35W have been closed — the southbound I-35W to 46th Street ramp closes Monday until early July. That means motorists will need to drive farther south and exit on Diamond Lake Road. 

Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, access to westbound I-94 will close on all ramps between Western Avenue and Minnesota Highway 280 until 5 a.m. Monday. 

Then starting at 10 p.m. Friday, westbound I-94 will close between that stretch of road until Monday morning. 

Eastbound Minnesota Highway 36 will close between Century Avenue and Interstate 694 from 8 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday.
