Major Road Closures Expected Across Twin Cities, Edmond, Lethbridge This Weekend

Significant road and highway closures are underway in multiple U.S. and Canadian cities due to construction and special events. In Edmond, Oklahoma, West 15th Street near South Broadway will be closed starting July 14 for railroad crossing repairs expected to last at least five days. The Twin Cities metro area faces numerous closures this weekend, including Interstate 694 West, Interstate 94 East, and northbound I-35E in St. Paul, as MnDOT conducts bridge inspections, repairs, and major overhauls like the multi-summer I-394 project. MnDOT officials acknowledge the inconvenience but emphasize the importance of these projects for infrastructure improvement. In Lethbridge, Canada, several downtown road closures will occur for the annual Street Wheelers Show and Shine event, with increased police enforcement to ensure safety. Motorists in all affected areas are urged to plan alternate routes, adhere to signage, and expect delays due to these necessary disruptions.
