Information about upcoming traffic impacts will be posted as details become available. Motorists should be aware that some nearby construction projects will have overlapping traffic impacts with the I-94 Minneapolis work. All I-94 lanes and ramps within the project area will be open for the winter. Motorists can expect periodic lane closures in spring 2026 when crews apply a deck sealant to the restored bridges.
