Share your thoughts on the I-90/Highwayy 52 interchange project. Tell us how we did, what went well and what should be improved by Jan. 31, 2026.

Traffic impacts

Detour: I-90 eastbound traffic exiting to Highway 52 southbound (Exit 217) - Scheduled through fall 2026

  • Motorists exiting eastbound I-90 to travel southbound on Highway 52 will be detoured 1 mile north on Highway 52 to Exit 47 (Marion Road/County Road 111, County Road 36):
    • Take Exit 47
    • Cross over Highway 52
    • Turn onto southbound Highway 52

Summary of work

Construction is scheduled 2024-2026 to make changes to the I-90/Highway 52 interchange to improve safety and reduce delays.

  • 2024: Constructed temporary crossovers and begin new ramps and loops
  • 2025: Constructed new eastbound I-90 bridge, flyover bridge over Highway 52 and portion of new ramps and loop
  • 2026: Construct new westbound I-90 bridge and remaining portion of new ramps and loops

Improvements

A new feature, a flyover ramp, for southbound Highway 52 to eastbound I-90, will solve several problems:

New ramps will reduce the run-off-the-road crashes:

  • Changing the angles will allow for better, more controlled entrance/exit
  • Lengthened accelerations lanes will also improve conditions

The bridge replacements will allow for:

  • Relocation of the bridge piers that block the view of on-coming traffic
  • Improved bridges that will last another 60 years or more
