Motorists to encounter delays through fall 2019, as crews construct two new access loops at the I-94/Hwy. 23 interchange south of Waite Park.

The Hwy. 23 to westbound I-94 ramp closed Monday, Aug. 5, in order to construct a new loop access from westbound I-94 to westbound Hwy. 23. Watch for directional signs, and use the I-94/Hwy. 15 interchange for access.

In addition, a new loop access from eastbound I-94 to eastbound Highway 23 will be constructed at the interchange. Motorists navigating through the interchange work area can expect periodic lane or shoulder closures, trucks hauling materials and orange barrels.

Both new loops will be open in spring 2020, after the overhead lighting is operational. The project will improve traffic flow, safety and access at this busy I-94/Hwy. 23 interchange.
