A permanent striping project will cause evening and overnight lane closures in both directions of Interstate 35E between Maryland Avenue and Interstate 94.

Crews will work all week on the I-35E/Cayuga project, with striping and installing overhead signs. The lane closure schedule is as follows:

Wednesday evening: One lane on southbound I-35E will close at 7 p.m., then reduced to a single lane at 10 p.m. All lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Thursday.

Thursday evening: One lane on northbound and southbound I-35E will close at 7 p.m., then reduced to a single lane in both directions at 10 p.m. All lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Friday.

Friday evening: One lane on northbound I-35E will close at 7 p.m.; then reduced to a single lane at 10 p.m. All lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Saturday.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation advises motorists to allow extra time when travelling along this route. The construction will be weather-dependent, and could be rescheduled if conditions prevent work.
