Motorists also will not be able to enter westbound I-94 between Interstate 35E and Cretin Avenue, and westbound I-94 will be reduced to a single lane between Cretin Avenue and Minnesota 280.
The interstate is expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said.
MnDOT is closing the interstate so crews can demolish the Prior Avenue bridge deck, which is being rebuilt.
