Heads Up, Woodbury: I-94 Construction To Resume In April

Road crews from the Minnesota Department of Transportation are set to begin their second construction season in just a few short weeks.

If you’re traveling on Interstate 94 between Saint Paul and Maplewood, you’ll encounter major traffic changes on the interstate while the project work is going on.

Officials say motorists should expect lane restrictions in both directions, traffic delays, and temporary exit/entrance ramp closures.

Drivers will have at least two travel lanes in each direction during construction.

April 2017

• Project work will resume (specific details for closures will be provided when they are available)
