I-394 HOT lanes will be closed during off-peak hours through July

Warm weather is allowing local and state transportation and public works departments to get started on projects that had been postponed due to the cold and snow in April. In other cases, work that had started will continue, so look for lots of orange cones, barrels and "Road Closed" signs. Here is a rundown:

Park and Portland Avenue bridges close Monday

Starting Monday, the Park and Portland Avenue bridges over I-94 in Minneapolis closed at 9 a.m. Monday to all motorized and non-motorized traffic. The bridges will remain closed through early August as MnDOT puts on new decks and sidewalks. Bicycle traffic and pedestrians will be detoured via Chicago Av. S., although other routes into and out of downtown include 1st and LaSalle Avenues, 3rd Avenue and 11th Avenue S.

In conjunction with the bridge closures, segements of I-94 and I-35W will also be closed during overnight hours this week:

At 10 p.m. Monday, eastbound I-94 between the I-35W/94 split and Highway 55 will close.
At 10 p.m. Tuesday, northbound I-35W between Hwy. 65 and Park Avenue will close.
At 10 p.m. Wednesday, southbound I-35W between Hwy. 55 and Franklin Avenue will close.At 10 p.m. Thursday, westbound I-94 between Hwy. 280 and Hwy. 65/35W will close.

All lanes will re-open by 5 a.m. on the following day, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The HOT lanes will be open weekdays: Eastbound from 6 to 10 a.m. and westbound from 2 to 7 p.m. They also will be open during major events as needed, MnDOT says. The project will run through July

Phalen Blvd. closed through Monday

Watermain repair and utility work on Phalen Blvd. in St. Paul is taking longer than expected. The road will remain closed between Mississippi Street and Olive Street (just east of I-35E) until sometime Monday.

The detour will take motorists and pedestrians along Mississippi Street, University Avenue and Olive Street.

Hwy. 101 in Chanhassen closed til September

Spring Lake Park bridge renovation

Works started Monday to renovate a pedestrian bridge over Hwy. 65 in Spring lake Park at 80th Avenue NE. Motorists can expect short-term traffic restrictions that will include reduced speeds, off-peak lane closures and shoulders that will be closed.

The highway will remain open, except for the weekend of June 14-17. The bridge will remain open to pedestrains until June 10. It will then be closed until Aug. 30.

Bridge work on 35E/35 in Burnsville

The bridge work is the beginning of a summer-long project in which MnDOT will do surface repair between Cliff Road in Eagan and the Elko/New Market exit.

Work on Hwy. 52

The ramp from southbound 35E to southbound Hwy. 52 will remain closed until 7 a.m. Tuesday. It was to have opened Monday.
