A massive project on I-94 over the St. Croix River between Hudson, Wisconsin and Lakeland, Minnesota gets back underway Monday.
Dave Koepp, the project development manager explains what exactly will be taking place.
"We're replacing the modular and expansion joints on the bridges and then putting a polymer overlay on both bridge decks," says Koepp. "We're also completing some concrete surface repairs and cleaning up the bridge bearings, doing new pavement markings, and then some spot work on the back walls of the abutments, and some spot painting on some bridge bridge pin hanger systems."
But neither lane will be completely closed during this time.
"I-94 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter some lane closures during the multiple stages to shift traffic to allow work on both bridges to be completed," Koepp explains.
Koepp says the work will happen in stages, saying stages 3 and 4 will involve eastbound traffic where lanes will be reduced.
Construction will cost roughly $10 million and last until late-October pending weather.
