Head-to-head traffic begins today on Interstate 94 from Rothsay to Fergus Falls until November
DETROIT LAKES, Minn. — Starting Friday, June 27, motorists traveling on Interstate 94 between Rothsay and Fergus Falls will encounter reduced speeds and one-lane traffic in each direction, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. By Friday evening, eastbound lanes will close, and traffic will be directed onto the westbound lanes while crews begin concrete resurfacing on eastbound I-94.
Until November, there will be one-lane head-to-head traffic through the project area, from just west of County Road 11 near Rothsay to Highway 59 near Fergus Falls. In addition, motorists traveling southbound on Highway 59 will encounter a closure at the I-94 on-ramp. Highway 59 traffic heading to eastbound I-94 will be detoured to County Road 88 through the city of Fergus Falls.
Central Specialties, Inc., based in Alexandria, is the prime contractor for the $22 million project. For more information, visit the project website at mndot.gov/d4/projects/94rothsay-ff.
