| Crews will open the new loop ramp and close the existing ramp from westbound I-94 to Hwy 241 late Wednesday evening, Oct. 6. Motorists should take the new loop ramp from westbound I-94 to exit to Hwy 241. The existing ramp is expected to reopen in late-October.
The ramp closure was needed so crews could replace pavement and reconfigure lanes.
When work is complete, there will be two exit ramps at the interchange from westbound I-94 to Hwy 241. To travel northeast on Highway 241/Wright County Road 36 (toward Otsego/Rogers), motorists will use the existing exit ramp. To travel southwest (into St. Michael) on Highway 241, motorists will use the new loop ramp.
Please drive with care in work zones:
- Slow down when approaching every work zone, then navigate with care and caution
- Stay alert; work zones constantly change
- Watch for workers and slow moving equipment
- Obey posted speed limits. Fine for a violation in a work zone is $300.
- Minimize distractions behind the wheel
- Be patient; expect delays, especially during peak travel times
More about this project
MnDOT is making improvements to a 39-mile stretch of I-94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater that includes more travel lanes, bridge replacements, new 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 improvements will reduce congestion, improve safety, improve freight movement, enhance economic vitality and provide a smoother ride for users of I-94. The project began in 2019 and is expected to be complete by 2022.
