MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minnesota Department of Transportation has paused construction on Interstate 94 (I-94) between Albertville and Monticello for winter.

Winter pause on I-94 project

What we know:

The I-94 project has expanded the westbound lanes, added a new bridge, and improved drainage systems. The westbound and eastbound lanes are open, but the third westbound lane will remain closed until fall 2026. The speed limit is back to 70 mph, but drivers should slow down if conditions worsen.

What you can do:

Drivers should stay alert for off-road work and construction vehicles along the project area. In case of a crash, follow posted detour signs.

The I-94 project is expected to be finished in November 2026. But according to MnDOT, there is some good news for central Minnesota.
