D3 - I-94 Gap – Albertville to Monticello: 2024 -2026 construction
We are excited to announce the start of the three-year expansion of I-94 between Albertville and Monticello, known as the I-94 Gap project, on July 22.
This year, crews will prepare the work zone, which includes temporary lane widening and median crossovers. Motorists will encounter periodic lane closures on both directions of I-94 through fall 2024. The lane closures will occur at off-peak hours, mainly overnights.
Major construction will take place spring 2025 to fall 2026. Overall, I-94 will remain open to two lanes, each direction, on one side of the interstate as crews construct the adjacent side.
 Project will improve and expand I-94 to six lanes, three in each direction, to close the gap between Wright Co. Rd. 37/19 in Albertville and Hwy 25 in Monticello.
About this project
The project will improve and expand I-94 to six lanes, three in each direction, to close the gap between Albertville and in Monticello.
Work includes:
- Reconstruct the road surface
- Add a third westbound lane from Wright Co. Rd. 37 in Albertville to west of Hwy 25 in Monticello
- Add a third eastbound lane from west of Hwy 25 in Monticello to Co. Rd. 19 in Albertville
- Replace the westbound bridge over Co. Rd. 19 in Albertville
- Widen the westbound bridge over Co. Rd. 75 in Monticello
- Install two noise walls along I-94 in the Monticello area:
- South side of EB I-94 east of Wright Co. Rd. 18/Fenning Ave.
- North side of WB I-94, east of Broadway St.
- Replace or repair underground drainage structures
When all six lanes open in fall 2026, the project will provide a smoother ride, extend life of interstate, improve freight access, increase capacity and reduce bottle necks, address area growth and improve motorist safety along I-94 Albertville and Monticello.
