Eastbound I-94 from Highway 55 to I-394 to close Sept. 25-28 for repairs
MnDOT will also close the Highway 55 ramp to eastbound I-94 starting Sept. 24 through Oct. 10
ROSEVILLE, Minn. — Eastbound Interstate 94 will close this weekend between Highway 55 and I-394 beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 through 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The closure is needed so crews can safely and efficiently repair the I-94 bridge over Glenwood Avenue and the Green Line Extension.
During the closure, traffic will be detoured to westbound Highway 55, southbound Highway 100 and eastbound I-394.
The work is part of a MnDOT project that is repairing and restoring more than 30 bridges across I-94 and I-394.
“We are on schedule and moving closer toward completing these essential repairs,” said Tim Nelson, Director of Construction, Surveys and Materials at MnDOT Metro District. “After this weekend’s closure of eastbound I-94, we will only have a few additional weekend, directional closures in the project area before we wrap up this work in November.”
Highway 55 to eastbound I-94 ramp closure begins September 24
In addition to this weekend closure, beginning Thursday, Sept. 24, the Highway 55 ramp to eastbound I-94 will be closed through Saturday, Oct. 10. Traffic will be detoured to Lyndale Ave. to access eastbound I-94.
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change.
MnDOT urges drivers to always be attentive, drive with caution and slow down in work zones where workers are present.
Drivers are also encouraged to check 511 for real-time traffic updates and plan for additional travel time to reach destinations.
More I-394 and I-94 weekend directional closures ahead
While MnDOT aims to minimize construction impacts as much as possible, Minnesotans should expect a few additional I-394 and I-94 directional weekend closures that will be announced soon as crews move closer toward completing the project.
