Construction season is not over yet: Motorists traveling this weekend may need to plan ahead as part of Interstate 94 will be closed in St. Paul.

A section of eastbound I-94 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday.

The closed-off section is between ramps for Minnesota 280 and Western Avenue. The stretch is going to be resurfaced as a part of a larger project to fix up I-94, according to Kevin Walker, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

Westbound I-94 will remain open through the weekend.

Traffic traveling eastbound on I-94 will be redirected north on 280, east on Minnesota 36 and south on Interstate 35E.

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead for the detour.

Traffic Sunday afternoon may be especially bad as motorists travel to downtown St. Paul for the Minnesota Wild preseason game at the Xcel Energy Center.

This is the fourth and final weekend that part of I-94 will be closed for the resurfacing project, Walker said.

The $7.7 million project also includes installation of new guardrails and improved drainage near Cretin Avenue and Vandalia Street.
