Please drive with care in work zones

Drivers traveling too fast and not paying attention are the main causes of work zone crashes. Follow these safe driving tips:

  • Obey posted speed limits. The fine for speeding in a work zone is $300.
  • Drive undistracted. Cell phones, mobile devices, adjusting the radio – even eating – should be avoided in work zones.
  • Be patient. Expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
  • Expect work zones to constantly change. Day to day you could experience lane shifts, closures or moving workers and vehicles.
  • Don’t make unnecessary lane changes.
  • Do the zipper merge.

More about the I-94 project

The I-94 Maple Grove to Clearwater project includes adding travel lanes, rebuilding bridges, constructing access lanes, improving drainage, adding an interchange, and resurfacing deteriorating pavement. When the project is complete in September, motorists will experience improved safety, a smoother road surface, better commercial access for freight and business, and less vehicle congestion.
