I-94 Construction Pauses Between Monticello and Albertville

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- Road construction crews are being pulled off Interstate 94 between Monticello and Albertville until next spring.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has suspended mainline construction for the winter.

Westbound and eastbound lanes have returned to their normal configuration between Highway 25 in Monticello and County Road 37 in Albertville. There are two lanes of traffic open in each direction, with the newly constructed westbound third lane remaining closed. The speed limit has returned to 70 miles-per-hour through that corridor, and drivers should be aware of crews who may be working off-road, near the interstate.

This year, crews widened and rebuilt the westbound road surface, replaced underground drainage, built a new westbound bridge over Wright County Road 19 in Albertville, installed portions of the noise wall in Monticello, and widened the westbound bridge over County Road 75 in Monticello.

Next spring, crews will begin expanding the eastbound lanes, prompting traffic to switch to the new westbound lanes. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained for the duration of the project.

The $76-million project will be completed in the fall of 2026.

LOOK: Things from the year you were born that don't exist anymore

The iconic (and at times silly) toys, technologies, and electronics have been usurped since their grand entrance, either by advances in technology or breakthroughs in common sense. See how many things on this list trigger childhood memories—and which ones were here and gone so fast you missed them entirely.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
