I-94/694 Westbound to Be Closed This Weekend
A major road construction project will force drivers in the north metro to take detours this weekend.
The Minnesota Dept. of Transportation will be doing some repair and resurfacing work this weekend on I-94/694 between Brooklyn Blvd. and Dupont Ave. in Brooklyn Center.
It’s the first of a few expected weekend road closures. The road closes down at 10 p.m. Friday, April 16 and reopens Monday, April 19 at 5 a.m.
In addition to the resurfacing, the project also includes drainage improvements, signal system work and upgrading pedestrian/bicycle crossings throughout the corridor to meet Americans with Disabilities Act Standards.

I-94/694 westbound in Brooklyn Center will be closed from 10 p.m. April 16 to 5 a.m. April 19.
The full directional closures are:
- Westbound: Friday, April 16 through Monday, April 19, and Friday, April 30 until Monday, May 3.
- Eastbound: Friday, April 23 to Monday, April 26 and Friday, May 7 to Monday, May 10.
The posted detour for all these closures is Highway 100, I-394, Highway 169 and back to I-94/694.
Weather permitting, all work will be completed by early June.
