Attendees are encouraged to park in the RiverCentre Parking Ramp which is located on Kellogg Boulevard and offers skyway access to Saint Paul RiverCentre. The ramp is now equipped with license plate reader technology, making paying for parking more convenient and efficient. Here’s how the new process works.

Starting Friday, January 23 at 10 p.m. through Sunday, January 25 at 5 p.m., MnDOT will temporarily close Interstate 94 through the Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood in Saint Paul. The posted I-94 detours will be 694 to 35E. The freeway closure is necessary to allow city contractors to deliver and set beams over I-94 for the new Kellogg-3rd Street Bridge.

The hard closure of I-94 will be at Hwy 61 for westbound traffic and Hwy 52 for eastbound traffic. Access to local streets, including Etna Street and Wilson Avenue will be prohibited and all westbound I-94 traffic will be routed southbound on Hwy 61. The exits to Burns Avenue will also be closed to reduce cut-through traffic on local streets.  

To access downtown Saint Paul from the east metro, take Hwy 61 south to Warner/Shepard Road. 

To access local Eastside Saint Paul streets from the east metro, exit on White Bear Avenue.
