Weekend closure of I-494 in Bloomington May 30 – June 2
ROSEVILLE, Minn. – Crews will close both directions of Interstate 494 between Highway 100 and Highway 77, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, May 30 through 5 a.m. Monday, June 2, I-494 will be closed in both directions between Highway 100 and Highway 77. Prior to the closure MnDOT will close all ramps along I-494 between Highway 100 and Highway 77 starting at 8 p.m. This closure is necessary to allow crews to complete the pedestrian bridge over I-494 near Chicago Avenue and remove the Portland Avenue bridge for reconstruction.
During this weekend closure, motorists traveling westbound on I-494 can use northbound Highway 77 to westbound Highway 62 to southbound Highway 100 to westbound I-494 as a detour.
Motorists traveling eastbound on I-494 can use northbound Highway 100 to eastbound Highway 62 to southbound Highway 77 to eastbound I-494 as a detour.
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather and schedule permitting and subject to change. MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, and slow down in work zones where workers are present.
