Traffic impacts
I-94 in Minneapolis project area map
All traffic impacts are tentative and weather dependent.
Upcoming
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 lanes on I-94 between 11th Ave. South and Franklin Ave. Southeast are open to traffic for the Minnesota State Fair from through Labor Day. Work will resume after Labor Day to complete the removal of crossovers and other items such as signage and lighting. 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.
