A MnDOT traffic camera shows conditions on Highway 36 during the morning hours on Friday, June 14, 2024, ahead of a temporary weekend closure.
More than half a dozen weekend directional closures are planned this summer along Highway 36 – and the first is starting Friday night.
According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), westbound Highway 36 will be closed starting at 9 p.m. Friday between Highway 61 in Maplewood and I-35E in Little Canada.
The closure will be in effect through 5 a.m. on Monday.
A detour using Highway 61, I-694 and I-35E will be set up.
The eight weekend closures are needed for crews to start repairing and resurfacing the roadway.
