Overnight I-494 lane closures scheduled for Oct. 4, 5
Brief late-night full closures also to take place
ROSEVILLE, Minn. – Motorists will encounter lane closures on westbound I-494 between Hwy 169 and Prairie Center Drive beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4 and Wednesday, Oct. 5.
The roadway will be reduced to two lanes at 7 p.m. and reduced to one lane at 10 p.m. each day.
During both nights’ work, state troopers will stop I-494 traffic intermittently for approximately 15 minutes at a time between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. as crews place bridge beams directly above the freeway.
All lanes of westbound I-494 will reopen at 5 a.m. each day following the closures.
Part of the Hwy 169/I-494 Interchange Reconstruction project, the closures are necessary for crews to set bridge beams for the Washington Avenue bridge spanning I-494.
