Motorists can expect delays along University Avenue in northeast Minneapolis starting Monday. MnDOT will be repaving the highway between Central Avenue and 27th Avenue NE.

The work will begin at Central Avenue and progress northward. Drivers will encounter off-peak lane restrictions and full closures over the next eight weeks.

The project includes repaving the 2.7-mile stretch of highway and repairing curbs and gutters and pedestrian ramps.
