Two road projects will reduce travel lanes along Snelling Avenue and Lexington Parkway, two major north-south thoroughfares through St. Paul’s Midway neighborhood.

On Wednesday, Interstate 94 ramps at Concordia Avenue will be detoured.

Installation of fiber-optic cable for the new Allianz Field soccer stadium off University Avenue will require three days of lane closures in both directions along Snelling between Iglehart and University, according to officials from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The lane closures begin Wednesday morning and continue until 3 p.m. Friday, weather-permitting.

Southbound Snelling Avenue will be restricted to two lanes from University to St. Anthony Avenue.

On Wednesday, northbound Snelling Avenue will be restricted to a single lane of traffic from Iglehart to just north of St. Anthony Avenue. It will then be restricted to two lanes until Friday afternoon. The sidewalk on the east side of Snelling Avenue along the northbound lanes will be closed near St. Anthony Avenue.

Meanwhile, Ramsey County has announced that resurfacing work will begin Tuesday on Lexington Parkway from University Avenue to James Avenue.

Major cross streets will remain open throughout construction, including Marshall, Selby, Summit, Grand, St. Clair and Jefferson avenues, but lane closures will be in place. The biggest traffic impact is likely Wednesday when the eastbound I-94 on-ramp and off-ramp at Concordia Avenue will be closed and detoured to Dale Street.
