Summary of work
![I-90/Hwy 52 interchange project map](/https/www.dot.state.mn.us/d6/projects/i90-hwy52/images/i90hwy52.jpg)
Construction is scheduled 2024-2026 to make changes to the I-90/Hwy 52 interchange to improve safety and reduce delays. Work started July 15, 2024.
- 2024: Construct temporary crossovers and begin new ramps and loops
- 2025: Construct new eastbound I-90 bridge, flyover bridge over Hwy 52 and portion of new ramps and loops
- 2026: Construct new westbound I-90 bridge and remaining portion of new ramps and loops
Improvements
A new feature, a flyover ramp, for southbound Hwy 52 to eastbound I-90, will solve several problems:
- Remove 92% of left-hand turns, reducing the risk for t-bone crashes
- The dedicated ramp will get rid of the line of vehicles that wait to turn
New ramps will reduce the run-off-the-road crashes:
- Changing the angles will allow for better, more controlled entrance/exit
- Lengthened accelerations lanes will also improve conditions
The bridge replacements will allow for:
- Relocation of the bridge piers that block the view of on-coming traffic
- Improved bridges that will last another 60 years or more
