I-94 Expansion Albertville to Monticello: $20 Million 

Project

This project includes reconstructing I-94 westbound travel lanes to include the addition of a third 12-foot-wide westbound travel lane. A typical section would include three 12-foot travel lanes, a 10-foot paved outside shoulder and a paved inside shoulder varying from 4 to 10 feet. The project widens I-94 toward the center median, with exceptions at the east and west end transitions. A high-tension cable median barrier will be installed as a temporary safety measure until the eastbound lanes are expanded and a concrete median barrier is installed. Capacity expansion and additional improvements will ensure that residents, commuters, and transit are safe.

Background

  • Crash and severity rates along the corridor are higher than the statewide average, and the segment averages 1.4 accidents per day.
  • This project seeks to emulate the success of a previous lane expansion from Rogers to St. Michael which resulted in a 55% reduction in total travel time.
