A stretch of Interstate 94 east that was closed Sunday morning in north Minneapolis due to a traffic incident has reopened, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the lanes had reopened shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday. The closure had affected eastbound lanes between Dowling Avenue North (exit 228), and West Broadway Avenue (exit 229).

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said in a social media post around 9:45 a.m. Sunday that it was processing a scene “related to a State Patrol use-of-force incident” following a separate incident on the stretch. Neither had any reported injuries.

MnDOT’s website lists the cause of the closure as a “traffic incident,” but doesn’t provide further details.
