Westbound I-694 closed for repairs this weekend from I-35W in New Brighton to Shingle Creek Parkway in Brooklyn Center

ROSEVILLE, Minn. —Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, July 11, the westbound lanes of interstate 694 will close between Interstate 35W in New Brighton and Shingle Creek Parkway in Brooklyn Center through 5 a.m. Mon, July 14, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. All ramps to and from the interstate along westbound I-694 will close starting at 8 p.m. and there will also be no access to the westbound interstate from cross streets in the project area.

The closure will allow multiple MnDOT maintenance crews to:

inspect and repair bridge decks,
Repair and restripe pavement,
clean and repair storm sewer drainage structures,
remove vegetation,
repair and replace lighting and
remove graffiti on bridges and walls.

During the westbound I-694 closure, motorists will detour on I-694, Highway 10, Highway 610 and Highway 169.

A similar maintenance effort is planned in the same area of eastbound I-694 in early August.

We appreciate your patience while we make these repairs and improvements. Plan ahead by checking 511, and give yourself additional time to reach your destination.
