The major transportation facilities into and out of the City of Rogers will be undergoing significant improvement beginning in the spring of 2010.

• Overlay to I-94 between the Crow River and Maple Grove
• Improvements to Westbound I-94 on-ramp (Main St.  to I-94 heading to St. Cloud)
• Improvements to Southbound TH 101 (Main St.)  to Eastbound I-94 on ramp (loop)
• Improvements to Northbound TH 101 to EB I-94 on ramp (Main St.  to I-94 heading to Mpls.)
• CR 81 Realignment  improvements from Memorial Drive to I-94 interchange. 2010 CR-81 Map
• Improvements to WB I-94 off-ramp with flyover of South Diamond Lake Road.

  

  This project consists of construction of a new parallel exit lane on I-94 with a dual exit lane for Rogers and northbound TH 101 traffic. The new exit ramps will provide the opportunity for northbound TH 101 through traffic to go over South Diamond Lake Road prior to coming back on to TH 101, thereby making the intersection of South Diamond Lake Road and TH 101 operate more efficiently.  In addition, this project will improve safety on I-94 as well as TH 101 near the South Diamond Lake Road intersection. Through meetings with the city, the bridge structure over South Diamond Lake Road has been lengthened 280 feet to improve sight lines to businesses and to provide less of a visual impact with the retaining wall. As part of this project, a new traffic signal will be provided at the intersection of South Diamond Lake Road and Rogers Drive.  2010 Fly Over Map -Large File Size

The city is working in partnership with Mn/DOT and SRF Consulting Group to complete the roadway and bridge plans and specifications, and to obtain all necessary approval by early November 2009. Upon plan approval, this project is planned to be let for construction in November in 2009, with construction beginning in early 2010, and completion by end of 2010. The city and Mn/DOT are committed to working with the business community to the extent possible to provide construction staging and signing, which will help limit traffic impacts to surrounding businesses.  We ask for the public’s patience in making these major improvements to the community.

Proposed 2010 Improvements Map - Large File Size will show an overview of all major changes.
