Summer road construction projects on Interstate 94 in Central Minnesota continue. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is starting work on I-94 and Stearns County Road 159, near Collegeville, on Monday, June 3rd.

Motorists may encounter delays while crews repair the County Road 159 bridge spanning the interstate.The work begins at 7 a.m., and if you commute you should prepare for the bridge to be closed:

• The County Road 159 Bridge spanning I-94 will close. Motorists may follow the signed detours using the I-94/County Road 9 interchange and local roads in Avon, or plan their own alternate routes.
• Both directions of I-94 at County Road 159 will be intermittently reduced to a single lane.
• All ramps at the I-94/County Road 159 interchange will remain open.

The bridge and lane closures are needed while crews resurface the County Road 159 bridge deck spanning I-94, replace the bridge’s approach panels and make other repairs while the bridge is closed to traffic. Mn-DOT did not state how long the project is expected to last.
