Upcoming Road Construction Projects
Affecting Travel in and Around Blaine
Interstate 694
There are two construction projects involving I-694 that will
affect the daily commute for many Blaine residents.
The first is Stage 3 of the I-694 Interchange Reconstruction
Project, which began in 2011. Stage 3 of this project involves
work on westbound Hwy 10 and westbound I-694. The
westbound ramp from I-694 to westbound Hwy 10 will remain
closed until this coming November. The Lexington Ave. ramp
to westbound I-694 will also be closed until the fall.
This project should be finished in November of 2013.
The other project that will affect Blaine resident’s ability to
travel in the north metro is the I-694 Corridor North Central
West Project. This project runs from I-694 in Arden Hills/
New Brighton west to Hwy 100 in Brooklyn Center and
involves the resurfacing and repair of concrete, resurfacing all
ramps and loops, replacing the bridge deck at Hwy 252, and
drainage repair.
Beginning in June and continuing until November, traffic
will be reduced to two lanes in each direction and a single
lane each night. Ramps and loops will be closed when they
under construction, and there will be several weekend full
closures with detours for bridgework at I-35W and Hwy 252.
