WB Interstate 94 closed this weekend...

As the City continues work on the Highway 52 Lafayette Bridge east of downtown St. Paul, they will close westbound Interstate 94 between Hwy 61 and I-35E this coming weekend.

 The road will close at 10 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5 and reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, Dec. 8, weather permitting.

You'll need to find an alternate route to bypass the closure, such as westbound I-694 to southbound I-35E or southbound Highway 61 to westbound I-494.

The Lafayette Bridge will remain open throughout the weekend but there will be no access from northbound Highway 52 to westbound I-94.

Statewide traffic, construction and travel information is available atwww.511mn.org, or call 5-1-1.

Here is a link to an article from the Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District about the CP Rail construction and the fight we and the city have put up to protect Pigs Eye Lake...  http://therippleeffectmn.blogspot.com/2014/11/wetland-versus-railroad-who-decides.html


And then, if you want to sign an online petition to the Federal Rail Administration about the oil tankers moving along the river, here is the link to that.  http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/enforce-railroad-health?source=c.em.mt&r_by=10890623

We STRONGLY suggest that you add a comment about changing the noise regulations while they are at it so that the negative impacts of braking noise on residents' health can also be addressed.
