A major road closure is coming to the Twin Cities this weekend.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will close I-94 in both directions between I-35W and Huron Boulevard from 10 p.m. on Friday, June 13, through 5 a.m. on Monday, June 16.
The closure is part of ongoing work on five bridges that has reduced the interstate to two lanes in both directions over recent weeks. After this weekend's closure, I-94 will again be reduced to two lanes from 11th Avenue South to Franklin Avenue Southeast, the MnDOT says.
Additionally, five ramps along I-94 will close at 9 p.m. on Friday, June 13, and will remain closed through late August.
Per the MnDOT, those ramps include:
Northbound I-35W to eastbound I-94
South 6th St. to eastbound I-94
Huron Blvd. to and from eastbound I-94
Riverside Ave. to eastbound I-94
Cedar Ave. to eastbound I-94
All lanes along I-94 will reopen for the Minnesota State Fair from mid-August through Labor Day to accommodate the traffic that accompanies the Great Minnesota Get-Together.
After the fair concludes, work will resume "to complete the removal of crossovers and other items such as signage and lighting," per the MnDOT.
More information on I-94 closures can be found on the MnDOt website.This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Expect traffic disruptions in Minneapolis, Eden Prairie this summer due to construction
Major roadwork and closures will affect traffic in Minneapolis and Eden Prairie this summer, with key routes seeing lane restrictions and detours. Both directions of Interstate 94 between Interstate 35W and Huron Boulevard will be closing this weekend for maintenance. "Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday night, the 13th, we're going to be closing ramps on I-94, from 35W and Huron Blvd. At 10, we will be shutting down both sides of the interstate," said Kent Barnard with the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Starting at 9 p.m. Friday, several ramps will be closed for the weekend, including: I-94 bridge (Dartmouth Bridge) that spans the Mississippi River Riverside Ave. bridge over I-94 I-94 over Cedar Ave. I-94 over the Light Rail Transit (Blue Line) I-94 over Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave Drivers will have to detour to I-35W, Highway 36 and Interstate 35E. The road will reopen Monday at 5 a.m. "There will be delays, but if people use the alternate routes and avoid this area, the delays shouldn't be unmanageable," said Barnard.
