MnDOT's Duluth interchange project is delayed a year, but this is how the Strib covers it. Compare to what they might say for a transit project delay.

From Mndot: There are two lanes in each direction on I-94 at Highway 95. The right lane of WB94 has been created for motorists to use the off/on ramps of Highway 95. The traffic light has been adjusted to make this a smooth transition down and up the ramps.

Don’t worry about being “Minnesota Nice”—do the zipper merge! Use both lanes when traffic is backed up and resist the urge to merge early. It may feel strange, but it helps reduce congestion and keep everyone moving. Learn more: mndot.gov/zippermerge

not a big @mndot fan, but I have to say that their aeronautical cartography division produces some of the prettiest maps I have ever seen

Cue “C’mon ‘N’ Ride the Train” 🎶🚆

We are proud to partner with Minnesota Department of Transportation and

Not breaking news, but news to me:
F Line construction delayed from 2025 to 2028 to coordinate with MnDOT road work on Central. F Line will eventually bring rapid bus service to Metro Transit's route 10 corridor. From downtown through NE, all the way to Blaine.
