The City's Public Works Department will begin hauling materials over the weekend to build a temporary levee at Jackson and Sibley on Shepard, which will protect the Lowertown neighborhood.
"The best points of entry for downtown will be from I-35E and from I-94. MnDOT will display messages on their existing variable message signs, information regarding the closures on the northbound lanes of I-35E south of the river and, if needed on the westbound lanes along I-94 beginning Saturday morning."
