ST. PAUL, Minn. – Travelers should prepare to slow down for construction work zones as road projects begin to ramp up across the state, the Minnesota Department of Transportation announced Thursday.
The agency has nearly 180 road construction projects this season that will help maintain and improve Minnesota’s roads, bridges and transportation infrastructure; improve safety and mobility; and support jobs that will be worked on statewide.
The 2025 construction season includes nearly 180 planned road and bridge projects, plus 51 projects that will improve airports, water ports, railroad crossings and transit infrastructure.
“With construction projects beginning in the coming weeks statewide, drivers should use caution as they see more work zones, more lane closures and orange cones – and most importantly more workers wearing their high visibility safety gear along the highway,” said Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger. “We’re all safer when we pay close attention, slow down, remain patient and work together to safely share the limited space in a work zone.”
Projects include resurfacing work on the I-94 Red River bridge in Moorhead with an estimated cost of $5.6 million along with I-94 eastbound from Rothsay to Fergus Falls. That is a $22 million dollar project.
