WASHINGTON COUNTY, MN — The weekend road and ramp closures in Washington County originally scheduled to begin Friday, April 12 have been rescheduled for next week, April 19-22.

The work and closures were rescheduled due to snowy weather conditions.

In addition, the southbound I-694 to eastbound I-94 loop ramp and the eastbound I-94 to northbound I-694 loop ramp will also close.
