Postponed: Eastbound I-94 from Highway 55 to I-394 weekend closure
ROSEVILLE, Minn. — This weekend's closure of eastbound Interstate 94 between Highway 55 and I-394, originally scheduled for 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 through 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28, has been postponed due to the forecasted rain, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The weekend's planned work had included patching, sealing and other repairs that require dry conditions. This weekend closure has been rescheduled for Oct. 9-12.
The work is part of a MnDOT project that is repairing and restoring more than 30 bridges across I-94 and I-394.
Highway 55 to eastbound I-94 ramp closure now scheduled to begin September 30
In addition to this weekend closure postponement, the Highway 55 ramp to eastbound I-94 closure — originally scheduled to start Sept. 24 — is now planned to close starting Wednesday, Sept. 30 through Monday, Oct. 12. 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.
