Traffic Alert: Interstate 35W Closure This Weekend
11/13/2018 7:45:00 AM | Athletics
Fans of the Maroon and Gold headed to campus this weekend for athletic events should plan accordingly and allow extra time. The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced that it will shut down both directions of Interstate 35W, between Highway 62 (Crosstown) and I-94.
The closure, which will begin Friday night at 10 p.m., and lasts through Monday morning, 5 a.m., is part of an ongoing road construction project on the highway.
Fans are encouraged to seek alternate routes or utilize Metro Transit light rail and buses to reach campus. The Stadium Village light rail stop is located adjacent to TCF Bank Stadium, along with the East Bank station which are both an easy walk to many campus venues.
Five Gopher programs host an on-campus event this weekend. Men's hockey plays St. Lawrence University Friday and Saturday night. Football closes out its home season Saturday against Northwestern, while women's basketball is back in action Saturday night versus San Diego. After playing at St. Cloud State Saturday, women's hockey hosts the Huskies Sunday afternoon. Wrestling wraps up the home weekend when it welcomes Oklahoma State late Sunday afternoon.
