News Release

(Roseville, Minn.) - Motorists should expect major delays in June during concrete pavement repair and replacement on Interstate 94/694 from just east of Brooklyn Boulevard to Highway 252 through the city of Brooklyn Park.

Traffic will be restricted to a single lane on the eastbound interstate from the I-94/I-694 split eastbound to the Mississippi River beginning early Monday morning, June 2 until mid-June.

Once concrete rehabilitation is completed on the eastbound lanes, work will switch to the westbound lanes with single lane traffic through the same area until the end of June.

Travelers are advised to use alternate routes when possible to avoid congestion. The work is part of a several year effort to rebuild and widen the Interstate 94/694 corridor between the Mississippi River in Brooklyn Center and the junction of Interstates 94/694 and 494 in Maple Grove. Final completion is slated for the fall of 2004.
