Commuters on westbound 694 who pass by 35W should allow extra time to get by today. MnDOT says the right lane will remain closed during the morning rush hour because the overlay put down last night is not drying

The lane along with ramps from westbound 694 to southbound 35W and northbound 35W to westbound 694 also are closed.

MnDOT closed the ramps and the right lane of 694 to finish placing a protective sealant on the westbound bridge deck over I-35W.
