I-94 project complete in Monticello
Motorists traveling both directions of Interstate 94 through Monticello found smoother traffic flow beginning Wednesday, Oct. 15, as all lanes and ramps were open as of that date. The newly constructed lanes and ramps are part of the $17-million I-94 Monticello improvement project, which aimed to improve traffic flow, safety and efficiency on I-94 and local roads in Monticello. The project:
■ Reconstructed two miles of I-94 in Monticello.
■ Added a new auxiliary lane along westbound I-94 between County Road 18 and Highway 25.
■ Reconfigured the ramps and acceleration lane from Highway 25 to eastbound I-94.
■ Upgraded traffic signal systems at the County Road 18 and Highway 25 interchanges.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation wished to thank area motorists for their patience during the project.
