Due to poor weather, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has rescheduled emergency repairs and resurfacing on state Highway 5/West Seventh Street between Davern Street and Wheeler Street in St. Paul.

The work — which had been scheduled earlier this week — is expected to be completed from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., on Monday. While the work is going on, maintenance crews will restrict traffic to a single lane in each direction. At the same time, the traffic signals at the intersection of Highway 5/West Seventh Street will be in flashing red mode and controlled by flaggers.

Officials advise motorists to utilize alternate routes to avoid congestion or delays.

The work is being done ahead of two projects aimed at improving safety and mobility on the highway between Munster Ave. and St. Clair Ave. in 2028 and between St. Clair Ave. and Olive St. in 2029.
