Twin Cities weekend freeway closures. Woman pleads guilty to bribery attempt in fraud trial

Drivers in the Twin Cities will need to navigate two freeway closures this weekend. MnDOT says the westbound lanes of Interstate 94 in St. Paul will be closed between I-35 E and Highway 280 from 10 p.m. Friday through early Monday. Also, the eastbound lanes of Highway 36 will be closed between I-35 W and I-35 E from 9 p.m. Friday through early Monday.

And a woman pleaded guilty Thursday to attempting to bribe a juror in the first Feeding our Future trial. Ladan Ali, 31 admitted she delivered a gift bag with $120,000 to a relative at a juror’s house in June and promised more in exchange for returning a not guilty verdict.
