the bridge carrying WB Interstate 694 traffic into the commons section. These events occurred over the weekend of June 22, 2007. Bridge demolition was completed by the early part of July. Work on medians and lanes on SB Interstate 35E in the vicinity of Little Canada Road forced a separation of traffic lanes on SB Interstate 35E. Traffic coming from the west end of the Interstate 694 commons section did not have access to Little Canada Road. Work on these medians was completed in the early winter of 2007. By the beginning of August 2007, the Unweave the Weave project started to look complete. Most of the permanent pavement was poured by the end of summer, and all of the replacement bridges (except for the Labore Road bridge) were completed. The bridge spanning Interstate 694 from SB Interstate 35E to EB Interstate 694 was opened at the very end of July, and the bridges over WB Interstate 694 carrying traffic into the commons area were complete and being used. The replacement flyover bridge from NB Interstate 35E to WB Interstate 694 was opened the week of August 1, 2007. At this point, the Edgerton Street bypass was closed to traffic since the flyover bridge was complete. The bypass was originally designed to carry traffic from NB Interstate 35E to WB Interstate 694 while the flyover bridge was closed. This bypass used one side of the Edgerton Street bridge, and there was no access to Edgerton Street from this bypass. The bypass also allowed for access to Rice Street from WB Interstate 694 for those who used Rice Street. 2008 April 2008 marked the last construction season on the project. Work resumed for the 2008 construction season the week of April 17, 2008. Some of the work that had been completed in 2008 included the reopening of the Labore Road bridge and its approaches, Interstate 694 WB leaving the west end of the commons section, EB Interstate 694 at U.S. Highway 61, as well as landscaping and noisewall painting. Also, construction of stormwater drainage ponds and median barriers were completed. Final cleanup for the project wrapped up in the latter part of 2008. On May 12, MN/DOT closed the ramp from EB Interstate 694 to U.S. Highway 61 for construction of a new ramp to the thoroughfare. The ramp was completed and reopened in early July. Permanent concrete pavement was put
