Note: The facility for the Regional Coding Meeting in Bloomington, MN, is south of the bridge collapse and traffic in the immediate areas is not affected. However, those who are driving may want to consider the following travel suggestions:

Driving from South or West -The bridge should not affect any of attendee arriving from the South or West but please allow a little extra time for travel conditions.
Driving from the East - Do NOT take 94 West as traffic will probably be very heavy in that area. Instead, follow 494 West to Hwy 100 North. Take Hwy 100 North to 77th & Industrial Blvd. Take a right at the end of the ramp headed west (the ramp loops around). Follow that to the 1st stop light (Frontage Road) and take a left. The hotel is the 22 story building on the right hand side next to TGI Fridays.
Driving from the North - Do NOT take 35W South. Instead, follow 694 to Hwy 100 South. Follow to 77th & Industrial Blvd. Go straight through the light at the end of the ramp onto the frontage road. Sheraton is the 22 story building on the right hand side next to TGI Fridays.

Note that traffic conditions may vary, please allow extra time for car travel.
