They close it on the weekend for maintenance because traffic volumes are significantly reduced.
The also do lane restrictions during the days and nights to carry out various less intensive forms of maintenance - changing guide rails, cleaning, etc.
The weekend closures are for paving and things like that that can only be done efficiently with a full closure.
