" Defending his 1820 poem "Lamia," John Keats growled that Isaac Newton had "destroyed the poetry of the rainbow by reducing it to a prism," lamenting that natural philosophy (in other words, science) will, as his poem put it, "unweave a rainbow.

June 5, 2007 news release: Demolition of WB Interstate 694 to SB Interstate 35E bridge Unweave the Weave, July 2007 Bridge demolition continued on two bridges within the commons section. One included the demolition of the original bridge carrying traffic from SB Interstate 35E to EB Interstate 694. The other was the bridge carrying WB Interstate 694 traffic into the commons section. These events occurred over the weekend of June 22, 2007.June 15, 2007 news release: Demolition of two original bridges on Interstates 694 and 35E 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.July 19, 2007 news release: Little Canada Road access closure, median work on SB Interstate 35E Unweave the Weave, June 2007 By the beginning of August 2007, the Unweave the Weave project started to look complete.

Unweave the Weave was a $120-million road construction project that reconstructed the interchanges of Interstate 694 and Interstate 35E in Little Canada and Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. The project sought to eliminate unnecessary lane changes by having all entrances and exits to the highway occur on the same side of the road. The project began in mid 2004 and ended in late 2008.

However, when Wimple confides that his formula doesn't work, Molly approaches Cadwalader about returning Bergen's money. Meanwhile, Bergen informs Jean of his disappointment when he discovers that the cocoons are too brittle to unweave. Soon after, Fibber arrives with a sample of the formula and the bad news about Wimple's discovery. In the rush of everything that is happening, Charlie accidentally spills the formula on the cocoons.

Early October 2006 Unweave the Weave construction project update All original bridges still existed through this month. During the middle of October, more bypasses were paved along the west end of the project, especially in the area along WB Interstate 694 from the west end of the commons to Rice Street. Roadway grading and construction of permanent pavement along EB Interstate 694 from the east junction of Interstates 694 and 35E to U.S. Highway 61 began in the middle part of October.

Abutments of the two bridges carrying WB Interstate 694 traffic into the commons area was completed, and steel beams were erected and placed along the bridges.Middle October 2006 Unweave the Weave construction project update Bridge construction continued through November 2006, and one bypass of a bridge spanning from NB Interstate 35E to WB Interstate 694 prevented access to the Rice Street exit. This would be remedied through the construction of the Edgerton Street bypass that would be set up for use in 2007.

According to a theistic view, the effects of one's bad karma may be mitigated. Examples of how bad karma can be mitigated include following, or living virtuously; performing good deeds, such as helping others; yoga, or worshiping God in order to receive grace; and conducting pilgrimages to sacred places, such as or to get grace of God. Editors of Hinduism Today Magazine, What is Hinduism? In another example, Ganesha can unweave his devotees from their karma, simplifying and purifying their lives, but this only happens after they have established a personal relationship with Him.

A similar project, the I-35W/US 10/I-694 North Central Corridor Reconstruction Project, aims to achieve these similar goals. The North Central project's area lies directly west of the boundaries of the 'Unweave' project denoted here. The construction area is roughly a 3-mile region of both Interstates 694 and 35E in the northeastern portion of the Twin Cities. The work on Interstate 35E ranges from Minnesota State Highway 36 (exits 111A and B) on the south to Ramsey County Road E (CSAH 15, exit 115) on the north.

The work on Interstate 694 ranges from Rice Street (CSAH 49, exit 45) on the west to U.S. Highway 61 (exit 48) on the east. Communities involved in this project include Little Canada and Vadnais Heights, as well as the neighboring communities of Shoreview, Maplewood and White Bear Lake. Unweave the Weave, April 2007 The project also realigned the two interstates to improve the infrastructure of the highway from an asphalt surface to a complete concrete surface. Numerous bridges were rebuilt, including the residential streets of Edgerton Street and Labore Road in Vadnais Heights.

A typical traffic jam, before reconstruction, in the Crosstown Commons. The atypical part was that this picture was taken on a Saturday afternoon, not during a Monday thru Friday rush hour. The Twin Cities' MN 62 had one of the most notorious junctions in the region where it interwove with I-35W. This mile-long stretch was known informally as the "Crosstown Commons". Plans to "unweave" and expand this section of roadway to improve traffic flow had come and gone for many years, frustrating the 200,000 drivers who used it daily.

Unweave the Weave, a project to eliminate weaving at the I-694 overlap, was completed in 2008. The 1965 bridge just north of downtown Saint Paul carrying a daily traffic volume of 148,000 vehicles over Cayuga Street and the BNSF Railway line was rated by MnDOT as meeting minimum tolerable limits in 2006. Its superstructure and substructure were described as poor with advanced section loss, deterioration, spalling, or scour. As the fourth busiest bridge in the state, it was scrutinized following the collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge in nearby Minneapolis on August 1, 2007.

Since then, the Unweave the Weave project (completed in 2008) has been the only major construction activity that has taken place on I-694 other than routine maintenance. Currently, I-694 provides for a minimum of two through lanes of traffic each direction both east and west of the I-694/US 10/MN 51 interchange. The area between I-35W and I-35E, however, is only a total of four lanes wide, with just one lane of through traffic provided for commuters on I-694 at the interchange. This lane configuration, combined with increased traffic volume and congestion over time, makes the interchange one of the worst places for bottlenecks in the Twin Cities.

This project was designed around several factors, a few of which included increasing freeway traffic capacity, increasing driver safety, and eliminating weaving and lane changes (eliminating "geometric deficiencies"), hence the name of the project, "Unweave the Weave". This weaving was the case for most drivers prior to 2005, before most of the road reconstruction work on the interchanges was done. As a result of lane changing and constant congestion, many accidents occurred on the interchange after its completion in the early 1970s.Unweave the Weave Project Overview: describes what the project is about, what the project will do, as well as provides aerial views of current design and proposed layout in 2008 The current layout of the two Interstates now provides for safer exits and entrances, minimal congestion, and better road surface durability.

These six lanes then split into three on the left for I-35E northbound and three on the right for I-694 eastbound; after the turn north, a lane joins on the right from I-694 westbound traffic. The configuration in the other direction, where I-35E southbound and I-694 westbound merge, is similar, but with only five total lanes instead of six where the freeways overlap. A four-year construction project, called "Unweave the Weave" beginning in 2004, was completed in 2008, and eliminated weaving where previously three I-35E lanes were inside three I-694 lanes, and left lane onramps existed. I-35E is four lanes wide north of I-694; the third lane added northbound from the I-694 westbound ramp exits immediately onto County Road E (exit 115) in Vadnais Heights.
