Westbound Ramp to Open at Highway 241 in St. Michael

Westbound travelers heading out of St. Michael and onto Interstate 94 can breathe a bit easier as the new on-ramp will open later this week.

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.

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.
