News Release

Roseville, Minn.— The right lane of northbound Interstate 494 between Highway 62 and Valley View Road in Eden Prairie, will be closed tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. as crews complete seeding of the ditch along the interstate. The cleanup and landscaping work is part of the recently completed widening of I-494.

A daytime closure is necessary because the Hydromulcher use to broadcast the seed and mulch material has been freezing up at night and the forecast calls for more cold weather.

If possible, motorists should take alternate routes to avoid delays on the northbound interstate.

Traveler information, including incident reports, is available by calling 511 or logging on to www.511mn.org. Know the Road. Dial up or log on.
