MnDOT To Finish I-94 Upgrades From Maple Grove To Clearwater In 2022

MAPLE GROVE, MN — The Minnesota Department of Transportation is aiming to wrap up its $350 million project to improve Interstate 94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater by mid-August.

Work is scheduled to restart April 15 on projects in Wright County, where crews will finish reconstructing six miles of roadway between St. Michael and Albertville and 15 miles between Monticello and Clearwater.

That work is expected to cause intermittent lane closures during off-peak hours though mid-August, MnDOT officials said. The Enfield Rest Area is due to be closed for the same period.

The work on I-94 in Wright County is part of a $350 million project to repair roads and add lanes on I-94 from Maple Grove to Clearwater.

Minnesota transportation officials in November marked the imminent completion of construction between Maple Grove and Rogers after two years of work.

Crews have reconstructed nine miles of roads between Maple Grove and Rogers from 2020-21 and are working to complete similar projects in Wright County. The project also added a lane on I-94 in both directions between Highway 610 in Maple Grove and Highway 101 in Rogers.

The project also included construction of the new Dayton Parkway interchange, which was completed last year.

Former MnDOT Commissioner Margaret Anderson Kelliher said last year that the interstate will be "smoother, safer and better" for drivers once all work is completed.
