MnDOT Hwy 252/I-94 Environmental Review Study –
And what it means to you.

About the Project:
Hwy 252 and I-94 in Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park and north Minneapolis are in need of improvements and repairs. Currently, we are seeing a high number of crashes, traffic congestion, and significant barriers for pedestrians and bicyclists in the area. Both roads also are deteriorating and need to be repaired.
Before any major improvements to Hwy 252 and I-94, MnDOT is working closely with the public, federal and local partners to gain a better understanding of safety and transportation needs in the area. As part of this study, They are taking a closer look at how a potential construction project could affect the environment surrounding Hwy 252 and I-94.
