Starting the week of June 7, westbound I-94 lanes will shift to the eastbound side of I-94 between Hwy 25 in Monticello and Wright Co. Rd. 8 in Hasty. The lane shifts will take several days to complete and will be in place through October while crews reconstruct westbound I-94. Shoulders will be narrow. Lane widths will be reduced to 11 feet. I-94 will remain open to two lanes in both directions through the work zone.

Single lane closures on I-94 in both directions from Wright Co. Rd. 8 in Hasty to Hwy 24 in Clearwater will continue nightly through October.
Noise wall update in Maple Grove
Crews are making progress on the construction of noise walls along I-94 in Maple Grove. This noise wall, located on eastbound I-94, east of Weaver Lake Rd., is the first of three concrete noise walls in the area. Two more will be built along westbound I-94 between Weaver Lake Rd. and Maple Grove Pkwy. Noise walls in this portion of the project will be finished by fall. |

Please drive with care in work zones:
- Slow down when approaching every work zone, then navigate with care and caution
- Stay alert; work zones constantly change
- Watch for workers and slow moving equipment
- Obey posted speed limits. Fine for a violation in a work zone is $300.
- Minimize distractions behind the wheel
- Be patient; expect delays, especially during peak travel times
Road work continues to be a critical service. MnDOT is committed to protecting the health, safety and well-being of its employees, contractors and all Minnesotans. Crews continue to follow the guidance of state and federal health officials to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We are making improvements to a 39-mile stretch of I-94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater that includes more travel lanes, bridge replacements, new bridges, improved drainage and the resurfacing of deteriorating pavement. Additionally, a new interchange is being constructed on I-94 near the city of Dayton. The improvements will reduce congestion, improve safety, improve freight movement, enhance economic vitality and provide a smoother ride for users of I-94. The project began in 2019 and is expected to be complete by 2021.
