1974 - I-394 at France Ave

This map clipping, from a 1974 book on the status of Minnesota's Interstate highways, shows a proposed half-interchange on I-394 at France Ave, on the Minneapolis/Golden Valley border near the Target Financial Services (formerly Prudential) building.  An extension of France Ave to the south to meet existing France Ave near the Irving Ave/W 22nd St intersection was part of the plan.  A related county project would have filled in the France Ave gap between Lake St and Excelsior Blvd.

The I-394 Draft EIS, dated 1973, did not show this interchange in any of the alternatives.  Nor did it appear in the 1981 Final EIS.  So it presumably was proposed only during the mid-late 1970s and was subsequently dropped before construction began.
