*Traffic changes on I-94, Highway 241 in St. Michael begin Oct. 5*

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Motorists on eastbound Interstate 94 and Highway 241 
in St. Michael and Rogers will experience a series of traffic changes 
beginning at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5.  Motorists can expect the following.

·Eastbound I-94 between St. Michael and Rogers will be reduced to a 
single lane after 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 5.

·All new, permanent lanes and ramps of eastbound I-94 in St. Michael and 
Rogers will open by 5 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 6.

·Motorists and commuters on northbound Highway 241 near I-94 in St. 
Michael should expect delays as the road is reduced to a single lane 
after 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 5, through 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 6.

·Intermittent, non-rush hour lane closures on both directions of I-94 in 
St. Michael and Rogers will continue until further notice.

The new auxiliary lane between Highway 241 in St. Michael and Highway 
101 in Rogers should not be used for passing on the right. The auxiliary 
lane is designed only for traffic entering and exiting eastbound I-94. 
Using the auxiliary lane to pass on the right is considered dangerous, 
and could result in a citation.

The changes are part of the I-94 Corridors of Commerce project in Rogers 
and St. Michael that will:

·Add a third lane to westbound I-94 between Highway 101 and Highway 241

·Add an auxiliary lane to eastbound I-94 between Highway 101 and Highway 241

·Extend the deceleration lane from westbound I-94 to Highway 101

·Improve the I-94 bridges spanning the Crow River

·Construct a noise barrier

·Make other improvements while lanes are closed for construction

When completed in 2015, the project will reduce congestion and improve 
the efficiency of the transportation system.
