St. Paul motorists will face delays and detours this weekend because of St. Clair Avenue bridge deck repairs.

Both directions of Interstate 35E in St. Paul will be closed between Interstate 94 and Shepard Road starting at 10 p.m. Friday. The closure is expected to last until 5 a.m. Monday.

During the closure, motorists can take the following signed detours:

Northbound I-35E: Eastbound I-494 to northbound U.S. 52 (Lafayette Bridge) to westbound I-94.

Southbound I-35E: Eastbound I-94 to southbound U.S. 52 (Lafayette Bridge) to westbound I-494.

Motorists will also have to divert for a weekend paving project on southbound Minnesota 280. Traffic was reduced to a single lane at 3 p.m. Friday between Broadway Street and Como Avenue, and then the southbound lanes were closed between Interstate 35W and Como Avenue. The highway will reopen at 5 a.m. Monday.

Similar restrictions will take place on northbound lanes of Minnesota 280 next weekend as the repaving work begins there.

An overnight closure of northbound I-35E between Minnesota 110 and Shepard Road ended at noon Saturday.
