I-94 Road Work

Drivers who use Interstate 94 will experience some traffic impacts through parts of Stearns County due to some bridge work. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will begin a two-year project to update and reconstruct some bridges over the Sauk River. Starting on Monday, April 13th, and continuing through late May, drivers should expect single-lane and shoulder crossovers east of Highway 71 in Sauk Centre and east of Highway 4 near Melrose. Crews will be making updates to two eastbound bridges, followed by full reconstruction of two westbound bridges in 2027. Starting in late May and continuing through late October, crews will be resurfacing the eastbound bridge decks, including new approach panels, concrete joints, catch basins, and guardrail. Drivers will see single-lane head-to-head traffic, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at each bridge location. MnDOT reminds drivers to use the zipper merge by using both lanes until the single-lane merge point.

Gas Prices

Average gasoline prices in Minnesota have risen 16.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.58. The national average price of gasoline has risen 11.8 cents per gallon, averaging $4.06. The national average price of diesel has increased 20.7 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $5.57 per gallon. Diesel prices now sit just 25 cents away from setting a new all-time high. Gas Buddy says gasoline prices are poised for another jolt this week, with many inland states - including the Plains, Great Lakes, and parts of the Rockies - likely seeing sharp increases as last week's surge in wholesale costs has yet to be fully passed on to consumers. The national average could rise by double digits, potentially reaching the $4.20 to $4.35 per gallon range in the days ahead. Fuel prices remain highly uncertain and are largely contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
