I-394 ramps at Washington Ave. and N. 3rd Ave in downtown Minneapolis close April 10

ROSEVILLE, Minn. – On Monday, April 10, the I-394 ramps to and from Washington Ave. in downtown Minneapolis will close through late June. Part of N. 3rd Ave between Washington Ave. and the C parking ramp will also close . These closures are needed so crews can begin work to redesign the intersection and rebuild the ramps.

Motorists should follow the posted detours below:

  • Eastbound I-394 to downtown Minneapolis: N. 4th St. ramp to N. 2nd Ave. to Washington Ave.
  • Downtown Minneapolis to westbound I-394: Washington Ave. to 1st Ave. to 7th St. to Twins Way

N. 3rd Ave. from N. 5th St. up to the construction area will temporarily become a two-way road to maintain access to the C parking ramp.

All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather and schedule permitting and subject to change. The Minnesota Department of Transportation urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, and slowdown in work zones where workers are present.
