If you travel to campus via northbound I-35W and I-94 in Minneapolis, you will need to plan your route in advance and give yourself additional travel time starting October 28.
Beginning at 5 a.m. on Monday, October 28, the ramp from northbound I-35W to eastbound I-94 will be closed through Friday, November 29. Both directions of I-94 will also be reduced to two lanes between 11th Avenue South and Franklin Avenue Southeast.
The lane and ramp closures are necessary to allow crews to build crossovers to shift traffic during construction on I-94 in 2025. Crews will be doing maintenance and repair work on five bridges along I-94 in Minneapolis. These bridges include:
– I-94 bridge (Dartmouth Bridge) that spans the Mississippi River
– Riverside Avenue bridge over I-94
– I-94 over Cedar Avenue
– I-94 over the Light Rail Transit (Blue Line)
– I-94 over Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave.
During construction in 2025, motorists can expect I-94 to be reduced to two lanes in each direction between Hwy 55/Hiawatha Avenue and the Franklin Avenue bridge over I-94. Crews will also need to temporarily close ramps along I-94 at Huron Blvd, Riverside Avenue, Cedar Avenue, and 6th and 7th streets near downtown Minneapolis. When construction is completed in fall 2025, these five bridges along I-94 will have a smoother and safer riding surface.

During the June 9, 2020, town hall for faculty and staff, President Pribbenow announced seven new equity initiatives born out of response to the murder of George Floyd and Augsburg’s renewed commitment to accelerate and expand upon our university’s efforts to promote equity and inclusion during a national moment of racial and social justice reawakening. One of these initiatives was the requirement of Augsburg faculty and staff to complete the University’s Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program and stay in good-standing every year following completion.

Come see Enemy of the People! (A musical adaptation)
Performance dates are Nov 1-2 and 7-9 at 7PM, Nov 10 at 3PM
Location: Tjornhom-Nelson Theater
Students are just $5!! General Public is $12 and other Augsburg Community is $10!
An Enemy of the People examines how a community responds when the local doctor threatens to expose that the town’s water source they rely on for tourism is contaminated. It raises questions of how far a community will go to protect their town’s secret so they can keep tourism dollars coming and circumvent a path to financial ruin. Scenes and songs will happen in close proximity to the audience, compelling them to feel as if they are part of the story. Immersed in the play’s dilemma, audiences will find themselves part of the climactic ending of the play when they actually vote to shape the ending of the story.
