Interstate 94 lane and ramp closures between St. Paul and Maplewood this week will cause traffic jams, the Minnesota Department of Transportation said.

First the good news: By 6 a.m. Tuesday, weather permitting, eastbound I-94 will reopen to three travel lanes each way, as it was before the summer construction project.

Now the bad: Beginning Monday and lasting through Friday, both directions of I-94 between Century Avenue and Mounds Boulevard will be reduced to a single lane overnight, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Also beginning Monday, there will be daily, off-peak lane closures in both directions of I-94 through Friday so crews can remove the temporary barrier from the project area and apply permanent markings on the pavement.

Meanwhile, several I-94 entrance/exits ramps that were slated to reopen to traffic Tuesday will not.

Southbound U.S. 61/Etna St. to eastbound I-94 and northbound U.S. 61 to eastbound I-94 will both remain closed through the end of October. Burns Avenue/Hudson Place (McKnight ramp) to eastbound I-94 will remain closed through Oct.16.
