News Release

(Roseville, Minn.) — Repairs and resurfacing of the eastbound High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane between Interstate 494 and Highway 100 through St. Louis Park and Golden Valley will be completed early Saturday morning. Work will then switch to the westbound HOV lanes starting at Highway 100 and move west to I-494.

Beginning next week, motorists also will encounter daily lane closures on westbound I-394 in the area where crews are working. The moving operation will continue progressing west toward I-494 each night from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Monday night through Saturday morning. Overnight single lane traffic will ease by morning rush hour but sections of the left HOV lane on the westbound interstate will remain closed west of Highway 100 as crews continue to repair a sunken section of the interstate.

Drivers should also watch out for daytime shoulder closures along I-394.

The reversible I-394 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane also will continue to close from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day between Highway 100 and downtown Minneapolis for repairs and resurfacing.

Weather permitting, the project will be completed by mid-August.

Mn/DOT reminds motorists to SLOW DOWN in the work zone and NEVER enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones. Please join us in a safety partnership. For statewide traffic, construction and travel information visit www.511mn.org or call 511.
