I-94 eastbound will remain open this weekend, but road work will close MN 36 westbound in Roseville, Little Canada
If you saw a flashing notice along Interstate 94 in St. Paul recently about lane closures this weekend, disregard it.
Road and bridge work in the eastbound lanes has been postponed due to an extreme heat warning this weekend, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, though an unrelated road resurfacing project will temporarily close Minnesota 36 westbound between Interstates 35W and 35E.
The closure along westbound MN 36 in Roseville and Little Canada is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Friday and run through early Monday morning. The loop ramp from northbound Cleveland Avenue to westbound MN 36 is also closing at that time. Drivers are asked to continue north on Cleveland Avenue to County Road C to loop back south on 35W.
Work on MN 36 began a few weeks ago, with the goal of resurfacing the highway from 35W in Roseville to Edgerton St. in Little Canada, while making additional improvements. A new auxiliary lane will be added from southbound 35W to eastbound MN 36 with the goal of making merges safer. The ramp from northbound Cleveland Avenue to eastbound MN 36 will be reconstructed, and the merger lane onto eastbound MN 36 will be extended.
Drainage improvements and guardrail replacement are also planned as part of the $17 million project. Work began in mid-June and is scheduled to continue into late September.
