Highway 100 Between 394 and 62 on Weekends
Even with all the advance notice about pending construction, it’s still a bit eerie to see six or so miles of what’s ordinarily heavily trafficked Twin Cities freeway . . . completely empty.
You know it’s a major hassle when the “Detour” signs direct drivers to Highway 169, which runs parallel to 100 — but several miles to the west.
Silver linings (at least if you’re not going north/south on the west side of town): much shorter lines than usual at typically bustling West End (St. Louis Park) businesses like Home Depot, Bruegger’s, and Costco gas this weekend.
