MnDOT is continuing bridge preservation and maintenance work on five bridges along I-94 in Minneapolis, affecting travel time and highway access to Augsburg through August.
There will be a full weekend closure of I-94 between 35W and Huron Blvd in mid-June (exact date TBD) to shift lanes to the opposite side of the freeway. Traffic will continue to be reduced to two lanes in both directions through the summer.
Starting in mid-June, several ramps will be closed through August:
‒ Northbound I-35W to eastbound I-94
‒ S. 6th St. to eastbound I-94
‒ Huron Blvd. to eastbound I-94
‒ Eastbound I-94 to Huron Blvd.
‒ Riverside Ave. to eastbound I-94
‒ Cedar Ave. to eastbound I-94
During this time, the detour from northbound I-35W to eastbound I-94 will be via eastbound Hwy 36 and southbound I-35E.
The Riverside bridge over I-94 is expected to reopen around May 29. However, there will be another closure later in the summer (likely mid-July to early August).

Our annual event, Rise & Remember Festival, exists to hold in remembrance George Floyd and those we have lost unjustly to the pervasive impacts of systemic racism. Activities focus on education, empowerment, healing, celebration, and our collective pursuit for racial justice and equity. Through Rise & Remember Festival, we will host a candlelight vigil, a Night of Honor, and the street festival that continues to highlight the role of community-rooted healing and art as activism. Our vision is that this experience inspires people to rise to the occasion to come together in community and build racial justice and equity.
