Archived: Highway 25 Ramps In Monticello Will Close Friday
Highway 25 ramps in Monticello to eastbound Interstate 94 will close on Friday and last until mid-September.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the ramps from both directions of Highway 25 to eastbound I-94 will close for reconstruction. The signed detour will direct drivers along Chelsea Road, to County Road 18 and then to eastbound I-94.
MnDOT says eastbound I-94 will shift traffic to temporary narrow lanes in the Monticello area with 55-mile-per- hour speed limits. Periodic overnight lane closures will start May 9 and end May 16.
According to MnDOT, these changes are part of the I-94 reconstruction project in Monticello. When finished later this year, drivers will notice improved traffic flow, safety and a smoother ride along three miles of busy interstate.
