Daytime lane closures also occur Oct. 25-27 for the I-94 improvement project

 

ROSEVILLE, Minn. – Motorists will experience delays as the left lane of westbound I-94 between Portland Avenue and Lyndale Avenue closes for approximately one week beginning at 10 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27.

 

The lane closure is needed for overhead sign foundation construction and barrier work as part of the I-94 improvement project. The lane will reopen by 6 a.m. Friday, Nov. 4, weather permitting.

 

In addition, daytime lane closures on eastbound I-94 will occur Oct. 25-27. The right lane of eastbound I-94 between Cedar Avenue and Huron Boulevard will be closed from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 for paving. The right lane of eastbound I-94 between Cedar Avenue and Hwy 280 will be closed from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Oct. 27 for paving. These daytime lane closures will be in addition to the current long-term closure of the outside lane and shoulder.

 

Motorists should also continue to expect overnight lane closures in either direction of I-94 as needed.

 

The I-94 improvement project between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul includes resurfacing, which will create a smoother ride for motorists and extend the lifespan of the roadway. The project also includes drainage improvements, bridge maintenance work, reconstruction of the shoulders, realignment of the lanes and smart lane technology to improve safety and congestion.
