NOTICE OF RETHINKING I-94 SCOPING DOCUMENT and DRAFT SCOPING DECISION DOCUMENT PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
MnDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are providing notice of the Scoping Document and Draft Scoping Decision Document (SD/DSDD) for Rethinking I-94. The agencies will be preparing a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for improvements on a 7.5-mile length of I-94 between the I-35W and Hwy 55 interchange in Minneapolis and Marion Street in St. Paul. Projects within the Rethinking I-94 program will accomplish the following:
- Improve mobility for people and goods on, along, and across the corridor in a way that facilitates community connections for all modes
- Enhance safety for people and goods on, along, and across the I-94 corridor for all modes
- Address aging infrastructure condition within the I-94 corridor
- Support transportation objectives consistent with adopted state and regional (Met Council) plans
The Tier 1 EIS, which begins after scoping is completed, will analyze the program area on a broad scale and identify a preferred design for the I-94 mainline and will identify alternatives where access changes are proposed. Potential impacts will be identified around these locations. A program of construction projects will be identified for future environmental documents.
The SD/DSDD is being conducted under a joint state and federal process and summarizes the purpose and need for the project, identifies public engagement activities, describes alternatives studied in scoping, identifies alternatives that will be further evaluated in the Tier 1 EIS, and identifies social, economic, and environmental issues that will be evaluated in the Tier 1 EIS.
The public has 60 days, from Jan. 6, 2026, to March 9, 2026, to review and make comments on the SD/DSDD. Public comments can be submitted via:
