Overnight Work To Begin On Minneapolis' Lowry Tunnel

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Drivers going through the Lowry Tunnel Wednesday night should get ready for a construction squeeze.

The eastbound side of the tunnel will go from three lanes to two starting at 8 p.m.

Then at 10 p.m., it's going down to just one lane.

It's all part of a major Interstate-94 construction project in Minneapolis and the north metro.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation's plan is to have the tunnel back to all lanes by 6 a.m. Thursday.

But this night-time squeeze will happen for the next three weeks.
