Construction on I-94 to Begin

Additional lane planned for eastbound I-94 east of downtown St. Paul

ROSEVILLE, Minn. – Construction of an auxiliary lane on eastbound Interstate 94 between Highway 61 and White Bear Avenue in St. Paul is scheduled to begin early Saturday,
September 10. 

As work begins, the ramp from northbound Highway 61 to eastbound I-94 and the ramp from eastbound I-94 to White Bear Avenue will close.  Motorists should follow the signed detours or use alternate routes to avoid congestion and possible delays.  There will also be occasional lane closures on the interstate throughout the construction.

The project also includes construction of a new wall along the south side of eastbound I-94 to provide a visual barrier for the adjacent neighborhood.

When completed in mid-October, the new lane will help ease congestion by providing a separate lane for motorists traveling eastbound between Highway 61 and White Bear Avenue or who want to exit on White Bear Avenue from the eastbound interstate.
