If you're going to the U2 concert Friday night at U.S. Bank Stadium, make sure to soak it all in and live in the moment because it could be a pain to get home later.

While concertgoers are enjoying the show, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will be shutting down Interstate 94 west from Interstate 394 to Interstate 694.

That's likely the biggest hassle drivers will face the next couple days. Here's a guide to some of the others. Check out the MnDOT website for the complete list.

Interstate 94, Minneapolis to Brooklyn Center

• Westbound I-94 from I-394 to I-694 will be closed for paving Friday night at 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. Monday. All the ramps to westbound I-94 from I-394 to I-694 will be closed starting at 9:30 p.m. Friday.

• The detour: westbound I-394 to northbound U.S. Highway 169 to I-94/I-694.

• The following ramps are also closed: eastbound I-94 to Broadway Street; eastbound I-94 to Fourth Street and Dowling Avenue to eastbound I-94.

Interstate 35W at I-94, Minneapolis

• From Friday morning through Saturday, Portland Avenue between 15th and 19th streets will be reduced to a single lane.

Interstate 35E, Vadnais Heights

• Starting 7 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Sunday, northbound I-35E will be reduced to two lanes between County Road E and Minnesota Highway 96 (MnPASS lane will be closed).
