35W to close in multiple spots south of Minneapolis this weekend
MINNEAPOLIS -- There's another set of summer road closures to be aware of this weekend.
Starting at 10 p.m. Friday, southbound 35W is closed between Interstate 494 in Bloomington and 35E in Burnsville. The detour for those traveling in the area will be Highway 77.
This particular stretch of freeway was going to be closed the weekend of June 23, but the weather prevented that from happening. Southbound lanes will be closed until Monday morning at 5 a.m.
Meanwhile, northbound lanes will be closed along 35W stretching between Highway 62 to 40th Street. This closure will begin at 11 p.m. Friday, and should be finished by 6 p.m. Saturday.
This closure is so that crews can remove a large crane that was being used on the storm water storage tank project. That detour will direct drivers to use Highway 169.
