News Release

Roseville, Minn.— Travelers on Interstate 94 near St. Michael will find lane restrictions lifted on both the east and westbound sides of the interstate today. The lane closure on the westbound lanes was lifted just before 5 p.m. last night. Crews removed lane restrictions on the eastbound bridge around 2 p.m. this afternoon. The entrance ramp from Highway 241 to the eastbound interstate will remain closed until the inside lane of the eastbound bridge is completed.

Both I-94 bridges over the Crow River near St. Michael have been restricted to a single lane since early Monday, July 18, for repairs and resurfacing on the outside lane and shoulder of the bridge.

With work completed on the outside lanes of the I-94 Crow River bridges, work moves to the inside lanes of the bridges this weekend. Weather permitting, the project on the I-94 Crow River bridges will be finished by early August. There will be no further lane restrictions on Interstate 94 for the duration of this project. Once repairs and resurfacing are completed on the I-94 Crow River bridges, crews will move to the northbound Hwy. 101 bridge. Traffic will then be restricted to a single northbound lane during repairs and resurfacing until just before the Labor Day weekend.

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.
