A series of traffic shifts and ramp closures on Interstate 94 between Oakdale and Woodbury will begin Wednesday as the final stage of pavement resurfacing starts, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Construction crews will reduce eastbound I-94 between Minnesota Highway 120/Century Avenue and Woodbury Drive/Keats Avenue N to a single lane at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, which will run until early Thursday morning when it opens up to three lanes until October.
Also starting 7 p.m. Wednesday, eastbound I-94 ramps to and from Radio Drive/Inwood Avenue N and to and from Woodbury Drive/Keats Avenue N will be closed until Saturday morning while construction crews pave the road that connects the ramps.
The final closure includes the ramp from northbound Interstate 494 to eastbound I-94 and the ramp from eastbound I-94 to southbound I-494. MnDOT expects these interchange ramps to reopen in the middle of October.
Several ramps will be reopening this week. The eastbound I-94 to northbound I-694 and southbound I-494 to eastbound I-94 ramps will reopen to traffic at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Also, the Tamarack Road to southbound I-494 and northbound I-494 to Tamarack Road traffic ramps are projected to reopen by end of day Friday.
All construction projects are weather dependent and subject to change at any time.
