News Release

Roseville, Minn.—The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) will begin construction April 19 on I-94 from Interstate 694 to the St. Croix River in Washington Co. when both eastbound and westbound lanes will be resurfaced. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction during construction, however, motorists can expect delays. In addition to lane closures, temporary ramp closures will also occur. Motorists will be directed to the posted detours. The project is expected to be completed by August 30 weather permitting. Additional construction in this area due to the redecking of the St. Croix River Bridge could cause traffic congestion this summer as well.

Also on April 19, construction will begin on I-94 in Ramsey Co, and extend from Mounds Blvd. to Ruth St. The construction will include pavement and sewer rehabilitation and is expected to cause lane restrictions. On weekends lane closures may limit traffic to one lane. The project is expected to be completed by July 4.

Mn/DOT urges motorists always to drive alertly and 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.
