Lane Closures Begin on Interstate 94

The elimination of one lane on eastbound Interstate 94 will kick off three years of headaches, reconstruction.

August 2, 2019 By Mike Schoemer

It’s the beginning of a long stretch of construction on the region’s thoroughfare, Interstate 94.

Drivers should watch for lane closures on eastbound I-94 between Rogers and Maple Grove starting this weekend. Beginning Sun, Aug. 4, I-94 will be reduced to two lanes between Minnesota Highway 101 in Rogers and Weaver Lake Road in Maple Grove from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, with work continuing through early September.

Crews will be building temporary lanes in preparation for the upcoming road resurfacing and widening of I-94 between Maple Grove and Rogers.

Commuters should plan ahead and give themselves additional time to reach their destination. In 2014, road rehabilitation along this stretch caused delays up to a half-hour at times.

More about this project

A complete overview of the project can be found here

Improvements are ahead for a 39-mile stretch of I-94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater, including more travel lanes, rebuilt bridges, improved drainage and the resurfacing of deteriorating pavement. Additionally, a new interchange is being constructed on I-94 near the city of Dayton (the Brockton Interchange). The improvements will reduce congestion, improve safety, improve freight movement, enhance economic vitality and provide a smoother ride for users of I-94. Work will take place between 2019 and 2021.
