Both directions of Interstate 494 between Blaine Avenue and Babcock Trail in Inver Grove Heights will be closed this weekend while crews do demolition work on the U.S. 52 bridge over the freeway, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

MnDOT crews will close the stretch of freeway beginning at 10 p.m. Friday with reopening of all lanes scheduled for 5 a.m. Monday. Ramp closures are also associated with the work.

Detours will be posted.

The closure will allow crews to rebuild the bridge deck and repave the ramps.

The project is slated to be completed by November. For more information about this project or to sign up for email updates visit the project website.
