Good morning commuters.

Minnesota's second season - road construction - is is full bloom as drivers will run into a lane and road closures that could impact the drive to work.

Here are a few of the places you will find restrictions:

The ramp from northbound 494 to eastbound 394 is now closed until noon on May 18th while repairs are being made to a broken water main.

Westbound 94 on Hudson Bridge has a lane blocked.

Southbound I-35E is closed at County Road 42 for bridge repair. That will last until June 2.

On I-94, look for the left lane to be shut down in both directions between Century Avenue and I-694.

At the current time, lane restrictions are still place in both directions of 494 at France Avenue in Bloomington as overnight work continues. That should be out of the way soon.

Look for restrictions on Hwy. 36 at Hadley Avenue in Oakdale.

I will be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, leave a comment here, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.
