Lane closures start April 14 on westbound I-94 near Fergus Falls
DETROIT LAKES, Minn. — Weather permitting, starting Monday, April 14 and lasting for one month, motorists traveling on westbound Interstate 94 near Fergus Falls will encounter lane closures, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
MnDOT crews will be making repairs to concrete in the westbound lanes between mile posts 53 and 50. Their work will start in the right lane, which will close for two weeks, and then switch to the left lane for two weeks. The lane closures will remain in place overnight as well, and there will be times when no workers are present while concrete is curing.
The repairs are in preparation for the westbound lanes to carry head-to-head traffic during the upcoming resurfacing project on eastbound I-94 between Rothsay and Fergus Falls, which will begin next month.
All maintenance activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change. MnDOT urges motorists to always drive with caution, and reminds them to slow down in any work zone and never enter an area blocked with barriers or cones.
