A stretch of Interstate 494 east will close Friday night through Monday, making travel in the southwest Twin Cities metro area a little challenging this weekend.

The eastbound lanes of I-494 between Minnesota Highway 212 and Minnesota Highway 100 will close starting at 10 p.m. Friday. They'll reopen ahead of the Monday morning rush hour.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the closure is part of the project to build a new on-ramp from East Bush Lake Road to westbound I-494 in Bloomington.

The westbound lanes along that stretch of the freeway were closed last weekend.

The agency has complete information on weekend traffic hassles posted online.
