Ramp Closures on I-94 in Monticello Arrive Friday

May 5, 2014 By Mike Schoemer

A major step in Interstate 94’s reconstruction and rehabilitation in Monticello arrives Friday, just in time for the Minnesota holiday known as “Fishing Opener.”

monti-construction736Motorists in Monticello will encounter major delays as the ramps from both directions of Highway 25 to eastbound I-94 close beginning overnight Friday, May 9. Both of those ramps are on the south side of the bridge over the interstate. 
 
A signed detour will direct motorists along Chelsea Road, to County Road 18 and then to eastbound I-94.
 
The ramps from Highway 25 to eastbound I-94 will open by mid-September.
 
Also beginning overnight May 9, motorists traveling eastbound I-94 will encounter narrow lanes and a speed limit reduction to 55 mph as crews shift traffic to temporary lanes along eastbound I-94.
 
The traffic changes are needed as crews prepare to switch all lanes of I-94 to the eastbound lanes of I-94 later this month. 
 
The changes are part of the I-94 reconstruction project in Monticello.

Construction Season Opens with Lane Closures on I–94 at Monticello

The project will reconstruct I-94 through much of Monticello, add an auxiliary lane to westbound I-94 between County Road 18 and Highway 25, reconfigure the ramps from Highway 25 to eastbound I-94 and upgrade signal systems and other infrastructure while lanes are closed for construction. When complete later this year, motorist will see improved traffic flow, safety, drainage and a smoother ride along three miles of busy interstate.
