Starting in April 2025, MnDOT will begin bridge preservation and maintenance work on five bridges along I-94 in Minneapolis, affecting travel time and highway access to Augsburg. During construction, I-94 will be reduced to two lanes of traffic in each direction between Hwy 55/Hiawatha Ave. and the Franklin Ave. bridge over I-94. Several ramps, bridges, and bike trails will be closed. Please double-check route availability and plan extra time when traveling to campus via I-94 during this time.
