News Release

(Roseville, Minn.) — McKnight Road beneath Interstate 94 in Maplewood will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday, July 22 through 9 a.m. Saturday, July 23, for removal of the old bridge deck on eastbound I-94. Traffic on eastbound I-94 will continue to use the newly poured half of the deck and will not be affected by the work.

During the McKnight Road closure, motorists will follow a signed detour to Highway 120 (Century Avenue) to reach McKnight Rd.

Work on the bridges and pavement as part of the third lane expansion of I-94 between McKnight Road and Highway 120 (Century Ave.) in Maplewood will continue throughout the year. Traffic will be maintained two lanes in each direction most of the time throughout the project area, but there will be short-term single lane traffic during nights and non-peak hours.

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.
