BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Drivers in the south metro could be impacted by a major closure on northbound Interstate 35W this weekend.

Starting at 10 p.m. Friday, May 19, northbound I-35W will be closed between Interstate 494 in Bloomington and Interstate 35E in Burnsville until 5 a.m. on Monday, May 22. 

According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the closure is part of a resurfacing and improvement project set to add lanes between 98th St. and 106th Street and update ramps, sidewalks, and signals at four intersections.

All northbound ramps between I-35E and 82nd Street and the southbound I-35W E-ZPass lane between 82nd Street and 94th Street will also be closed during that time period.

MnDOT says drivers in need of a detour should use I-35E to Highway 77 to I-494.
