Maintenance on 5 Bridges Along I-94 Begins This Fall

Beginning in fall 2024 through fall 2025, MnDOT crews will conduct bridge preservation and maintenance work on five bridges along I-94 in Minneapolis. These bridges include:

• I-94 bridge (Dartmouth Bridge) that spans the Mississippi River
• Riverside Ave. bridge over I-94
• I-94 over Cedar Ave.
• I-94 over the Light Rail Transit (Blue Line)
• I-94 over Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave.

Summary of work

• Construct temporary crossovers
• Repair bridge decks
• Resurface bridge pavement
• Remove and replace bridge joints
• Update guardrails
• Upgrade drainage
• Repaint bridge steel

Information about upcoming traffic impacts will be posted as details become available. Motorists can expect overnight lane closures on I-94 between downtown Minneapolis and the Franklin Avenue Bridge over I-94 in fall 2024. During construction in 2025, motorists can expect I-94 to be reduced to two lanes in each direction between Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave. and the Franklin Avenue Bridge over I-94.
