News Release

(Roseville, Minn.)The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will close various loops and ramps servicing I-494 and Highway 100 on July 7 as the I-494 reconstruction project continues through BLOOMINGTON.

The loops from westbound I-494 to southbound Highway 100 (Normandale Blvd.) and from northbound Highway 100 (Normandale Blvd.) to westbound I-494 will close. The ramps from southbound Highway 100 to westbound I-494 and from westbound I-494 to northbound Highway 100 also will close.

Weather permitting, the loops and ramps will re-open by July 21. Motorists are advised to follow the posted detour routes (Highway 169 and Highway 62.)

These loop and ramp closures are necessary as crews construct a temporary bridge and widen the new roadway embankments on this segment of the project.

Mn/DOT urges motorists always to drive with caution and reminds them to
SLOW DOWN in the work zone and NEVER enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones. For updated statewide traffic, construction and travel information visit www.511mn.org.
