The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that eight projects had been approved for funding throughout the state through the Corridors of Commerce program. Among those projects is the segment of I-94 between Monticello and Albertville – the last remaining stretch of I-94 between Clearwater and the 694/494 split that is two lanes.
MnDOT appropriated $78 million for a lane expansion to three lanes in both directions. No timeline has been announced when the construction will begin and how long it will last, but the funding piece was viewed as the most challenging portion of getting the construction done to make I-94 three lanes throughout Wright County.
