Lots of significant progress has taken place at the Interstate 94/Highway 27 interchange! Concrete paving was completed at the westbound ramps (WB roundabout), and crews wrapped up paving at the eastbound ramps (EB roundabout) last Tuesday.
While the concrete cures, crews will be finishing installing sidewalks and will begin shaping the shoulders to get them ready for paving this week. In addition, the electrical contractor is on-site, getting bases and wires ready for the lighting installation.
The interchange is expected to reopen in early July.

Detour informationDepending on your direction of travel, you’ll use I-94 as part of the detour route to/from Highway 27 or County Road 46:
The work is isolated to the interchange ramps, so residents, businesses and visitors will always be able to access driveways and entrances on Highway 27 and County Roads 45/46 up to the work zone. |
