A major disruption for Twin Cities drivers returns Monday, as work resumes on a multi-year project involving Interstates 94 and 35E in downtown St. Paul. 

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the initial traffic effects will include:

But the most critical of the Wednesday traffic changes will be the closure of the exit from westbound I-94 to 12th Street. That's a key access point for Regions Hospital for drivers traveling from the east metro — and that hospital traffic is going to be detoured all the way to Dale Street and back. That ramp is scheduled to reopen in early June. 

The overall project through mid-summer involves resurfacing the interstates, repairing ramps, railings and sidewalks, and resurfacing the Robert Street bridge over the freeway. MnDOT says drivers should expect significant disruptions as the project proceeds through the summer. 

From mid-summer through fall this year, MnDOT says, the work will move east to the stretch of I-94 between I-35E and Mounds Boulevard.
