I-94 Albertville to Monticello work zone. Select image to enlarge
Interstate travelers are now using the newly constructed, permanent six-lane segment—three lanes in each direction
Only remaining two lane areas are at the east and west ends of the work zone used to temporarily shift traffic in the median
The temporary crossovers will be removed and the final third lane built in each direction, closing the gap
Expect periodic single-lane closures in both directions as crews finish the project
Emergency closures: Use nearest exit and follow I-94 alternate route signs
Use 511mn.org for current conditions, including snow and ice weather

When complete in 2026, the westbound lanes in the MnROAD area from Albertville to Monticello will be as they are today—except three lanes. The future test section along westbound I-94, will be for truck traffic only. Drivers will use a entrance ramp from westbound I-94, drive on the test section and use a exit ramp back onto westbound. Signs will signify truckers a road test is in operation and they need to exit ahead. More details to become available when known.
