About this project
In March 2025, we began the two-year reconstruction project along East 7th St., and Arcade St. between I-94 in St. Paul and Roselawn Ave. in Maplewood. Construction is underway on Arcade St. for the 2025 construction season. Construction on East 7th St. will occur during the 2026 construction season. When complete, the new roadway will improve traffic flow, decrease traffic delays and improve safety on the road. Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2026.
