ST. CLOUD, Minn. –
Motorists travelling eastbound Interstate 94 between St. Cloud and Clearwater
should plan alternate routes and additional travel time as the single open
eastbound lane temporarily closes at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April
30.
This unplanned closure is needed for crews to make emergency repairs to orange traffic cones, posts and other safety devices that were damaged during recent late-spring snow storms.
A
10-mile detour will direct motorist along Exit 171 to eastbound County Road 75
in St. Augusta, to southbound Highway 24 in Clearwater and back to eastbound
I-94.
Eastbound I-94 will
reopen as a single lane by 10 p.m. the same evening.
While westbound I-94
will not be closed during the repairs, motorists travelling both directions of
the busy interstate should consider alternate routes until the road is
officially reopened.
Both directions of
I-94 have been reduced to a single lane between St. Cloud and Clearwater since
April 3 while crews work to resurface 7.5 miles of the interstate. More
information on the project, including links to traffic cams, can be found at
