Metro - I-94 Oakdale to St. Croix: 2022-2024 construction
Construction crews will be back on the east end of the project area starting May 1 to pave the section of I-94 from Hwy 95/St. Croix Trail to the river bridge. This area was not a part of last year’s work because the lanes were used to keep I-94 open to traffic.
To get ready for the paving work, both directions of I-94 will be reduced to a single lane from just west of Hwy 95/St. Croix Trail to the middle of the river bridge starting at 9 p.m. on Wed, May 1.
Then at 5 a.m. the following morning, Thu, May 2:
- Both directions of I-94 will be reduced to two lanes just west of Hwy 95/St. Croix Trail to the middle of the river bridge until late June.
- Motorists traveling on I-94 can use either lane and follow the posted signs to stay on I-94.
- A section of Hwy 95/St. Croix Trail under the I-94 bridges will be closed to traffic until early June.
- Motorists trying to go northbound on St. Croix Trail can bypass the closure using eastbound I-94, Carmichael Rd., westbound I-94 and northbound Hwy 95.
- Motorists heading southbound on Hwy 95 should use westbound I-94, Manning Ave., eastbound I-94 and St. Croix Trail to bypass the road closure.
The Hwy 95/St. Croix Trail closure is necessary to keep motorists safe while construction crews work on this section of I-94. Plan ahead and expect delays if you travel through the area.
Radio Drive/Inwood Avenue North ramp closures begin May 2
Also beginning 5 a.m. Thu, May 2, the following I-94 ramps in Woodbury will be closed for repaving through mid-June:
- Westbound I-94 to Radio Dr./Inwood Ave. North
- Detour: Westbound I-94, Keats Ave. North/Woodbury Dr., Hudson Rd. and Radio Dr./Inwood Ave. North
- Radio Dr./Inwood Ave. North to westbound I-94
- Detour: Radio Dr./Inwood Ave. North, Hudson Blvd., Keats Ave. North/Woodbury Dr. and westbound I-94
We appreciate your patience while we make these improvements. Plan ahead by checking 511, and give yourself additional time to reach your destination.

We will be resurfacing the pavement and making other improvements to I-94 between Hwy 120/Century Ave. and the St. Croix River through fall 2024. The work will improve safety, traffic flow and ride smoothness.
