Things may look pretty at this weekend's Uptown and Powderhorn Park art fairs in Minneapolis, but not so much on the roads. Motorists will need some artful driving to bypass a closure on Hwy. 169 in the west metro and the new lane configuration on I-94 through the Lowry Hill Tunnel.

Open Streets Minneapolis takes over portions of E. Hennepin Avenue, NE. 5th Street and Central Avenue Sunday.

The Twins have games Saturday and Sunday at Target Field, the Loons play at 7 p.m. Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium and the Saints are home Saturday and Sunday evenings at CHS Field. Two shows at the X, Bruno Mars Saturday and Shawn Mendes Sunday, could draw traffic to downtown St. Paul.

Here is where you'll find significant road work:
