More than 700 crashes in two years of work on stretch of I-94

Motorists in the northwest metro have endured two years of construction on Interstate 94 between Maple Grove and Rogers, and the end is in sight.

In recent weeks, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has removed concrete barriers separating an express lane on westbound I-94 that didn't allow drivers to exit the freeway between Weaver Lake Road and Hwy. 241 from other lanes that allowed them to get on and off. Traffic on both eastbound and westbound I-94 now have three regular traffic lanes in each direction, and soon a fourth lane between Hwys. 610 and 101.

"No more chutes and shifts," said MnDOT spokesman David Aeikens.
