The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the two-year, I-94 construction project from Woodbury to the Wisconsin border should be substantially complete tomorrow. That’s when eastbound I-94 between Century Avenue and the I-94/I-494/I-694 interchange will no longer be reduced to three lanes. Crews will still need to close the ramp from eastbound I-94 to Woodbury Dr./Keats Ave. North for up to three days to complete a bridge repair, as well as do another night of traffic stops to install a new overhead sign in the same area. The schedule for this work is still being determined.
The next major construction project in the corridor is scheduled to begin next summer or fall. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation expects to begin a bridge rehabilitation project on the eastbound and westbound I-94 bridges over the St. Croix River. Crews will build temporary crossovers and widen shoulders to shift traffic during the following construction season in 2026. Expect lane closures on I-94 during nonpeak travel times in 2025. Construction in 2026 is anticipated to require lane closures on both bridges. For more information, visit WisDOT’s project website.
