According to MnDOT, southbound I-35E will be reduced to one lane between West 7th Street and Shepard Road from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.
Northbound I-35E would be reduced between the same posts from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Also, MnDOT said southbound I-35E will be closed between Interstate 494 and Lone Oak Road starting at 10 p.m. Friday. The closure would last until Monday morning. The detour is to Highway 77.
