Minneapolis I-394 construction will cause traffic delays

Major construction on I-394 in Minneapolis begins next Monday, causing significant traffic delays for commuters. This project will shut down the reversible EZ Pass lanes until October. The $70 million project includes bridge and pavement repairs, overlapping with existing I-94 bridge work. Drivers should expect off-peak lane closures initially, followed by the closure of the EZ Pass lanes, adding to congestion. Hwy. 55, a potential alternate route, is also under construction, further complicating travel. MnDOT aims to extend the life of aging infrastructure with these projects, despite the inconvenience.
