Two segments of Interstate 94 in the east metro will be closed this weekend as Minnesota Department of Transportation crews take down two bridges.
In St. Paul, crews will demolish the southbound Dale Street bridge over I-94 as construction of the new bridge there reaches the halfway point. The freeway will be closed from Friday night to Monday morning between Lexington Parkway and Marion Street. Dale Street will remain open with a single lane of traffic in each direction.
Farther east, I-94 will be closed in both directions at the I-94/I-494/I-694 interchange in Washington County from Friday night to Monday morning. Crews will remove a temporary bridge over the freeway.
In the northwest metro, I-94 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction between Hwy. 101 in Rogers to the I-94/494/694 interchange in Maple Grove from 8 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday. And in Minneapolis, eastbound I-94 will be closed from 10 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday between I-394 and I-35W.
