Resurfacing brings closures, lane reductions this weekend on Interstate 35W and Interstate 494

For the third straight weekend, drivers on I-494 through Mendota Heights, Eagan and Inver Grove Heights should plan on big delays. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will continue with a resurfacing project along 8 miles of the freeway.

Things could get a bit tougher on Thursday when MnDOT shuts down the ramps from eastbound I-494 to northbound I-35E and southbound I-35E eastbound I-494. They will be closed for 42 days while crews repair bridge joints.
