I-94 Work Will Impact Northbound Freeway Traffic
Northbound Interstate 94 will close in the overnight hours this week, and have reduced lanes during the day, as part of a resurfacing operation.
Get ready for some changes this week as you travel north on Interstate 94 toward downtown.
The state Department of Transportation will apply a final asphalt overlay as part of the Mitchell lnterchange reconstruction project. As a result, I-94 west (northbound) from Rawson to the interchange will be closed completely in the overnight hours and have reduced lanes during the day.
According to the DOT, I-94 west from Rawson Avenue to the Mitchell Interchange will close from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday through Thursday. It will close at 8:30 p.m. Friday until 8:30 a.m. Saturday, and again from 9 p.m. Saturday until 8 a.m. Sunday.

Also on Saturday, the Rawson Avenue on-ramp to northbound I-94 will be closed.
