Construction will close parts of Interstate 35E for two weekends starting Friday night. The Minnesota Department of Transportation says northbound I-35E will be closed between Little Canada and Columbus this weekend. Next weekend, the southbound lanes will be closed.

After being closed for more than a month due to river flooding, Fort Snelling State Park in the Twin Cities is open again. The park at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers closed June 22 as river levels rose following heavy rain. Park staff had to repair flood damage to roads, trails and other infrastructure before reopening.

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
