May 23 Project Update


Rain in the forecast has caused the cancellation of ramp closures from northbound Hwy 52 to westbound I-94 and East 7th Street to westbound I-94.

The overnight ramp closures have been rescheduled to close at 7 p.m. May 29 and May 30 and reopen by 5 a.m. May 30 and May 31.


The ramp closures are needed as crews build the west half of the new loop from northbound 52 to westbound 94. Please follow the posted detours during the closures.

Project Details
Replacement of the Lafayette Bridges in St. Paul began in January 2011. See current project updates.


When completed, the two new bridges (northbound and southbound) each will provide two through-lanes and an auxiliary lane in each direction for entering and exiting traffic. The project also includes the modification and realignment of the Hwy 52 bridges over I-94 and re-decking of the Hwy 52 bridges south of the Mississippi River spanning Plato Boulevard and Eaton Street along with repairs and resurfacing the bridges crossing Concord Street. A pedestrian and bicycle crossing over the river on the northbound bridge is included in the plans.

The project limits stretch along Hwy 52 from East Seventh Street to just south of Plato Boulevard.
