When complete in 2026, the westbound lanes in the MnROAD area from Albertville to Monticello will be as they are today—except three lanes. The future test section along westbound I-94, will be for truck traffic only. Drivers will use a entrance ramp from westbound I-94, drive on the test section and use a exit ramp back onto westbound. Signs will signify truckers a road test is in operation and they need to exit ahead. More details to become available when known.
