Driving US 45/895 will be tougher this weekend because of closures due to bridge rehabilitation work taking place at the Zoo interchange.

Starting 9 p.m. Friday, drivers headed north on US 45/895 into the interchange will not be able to turn west onto Interstate 94. Drivers headed south will be constricted from two lanes to one. The closures will last all weekend until 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 25.

To assist the northbound drivers wanting to go west on I-94, a detour will be established to take them onto eastbound I-94 instead. The detour will then take them off the freeway at 84th Street and then direct them back on going west.

The weekend closures will depend on weather.
