Brief: Some I-694 Ramps Reopen, Some Close on Thursday
The wait is finally over. Ramps will be opening (weather-permitting) by rush-hour on Thursday.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has some good news for drivers.
The eastbound and southbound lanes to and from Highway 36 and I-694 will reopen by rush-hour on Thursday. The ramps have been closed for the past couple of months while MnDOT has resurfaced the roadway.
While those ramps will be opening, MnDOT will then close the eastbound and southbound ramps to and from Highway 120 (Century Avenue).
