West-Bound I-694 Ramp at Lexington Avenue Closing Today

The Roseville office of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) said the ramp from Lexington Avenue to westbound I-694 near Roseville is scheduled to close at 9 a.m. today (Monday, May 20) weather permitting.

In a press staatment, MnDOT said the closure will enable road construction crews to rebuild the new alignments of westbound I-694 and westbound Highway 10.

"Once the ramp is closed, the detour for both Ramsey County Road 96 and Lexington Avenue to reach westbound I-694 will be Lexington Avenue to Victoria Street to westbound I-694," MnDOT officials said. Detour signs will direct motorists when the ramp is closed.

MnDOT expects to reopen the ramp, which is in Arden Hills, by this November.
