Frontage road closures will also occur close between Lyndale Avenue and Portland Avenue at 10 p.m. on Aug. 12-15. The closures are needed as crews paint the 2nd Avenue pedestrian bridge. During the closure a posted detour will direct motorists to use Highway 77/Cedar Avenue, Highway 62 and I-35W. Both directions of I-494 will reopen by 12:01 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 14. The frontage roads will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 15. Nicollet Avenue Bridge Closure Aug. 1The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will be closing the Nicollet Avenue bridge spanning I-494, including ramps to and from I-494, beginning at 7 p.m. August 1, 2011. A marked detour will be provided using Lyndale Avenue, W. 77th Street, Portland Avenue and American Boulevard. The project is expected to be completed by the end of September. The closure is to allow for bridge rehabilitation work which includes resurfacing, and curb, gutter and sidewalk replacement. Additional closures throughout the project will include a closure of the 2nd Avenue pedestrian bridge spanning I-494 for rehabilitation work, periodic nighttime lane closures along I-494, as well as a weekend closure of I-494 for bridge painting.
