Lane closures planned on I-94 May 28-29 near Alexandria, Barnesville



DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – Motorists traveling on Interstate 94 will encounter intermittent delays and lane closures Wednesday, May 28, west of Alexandria and Thursday, May 29, near Barnesville for work on the CapX2020 transmission line project.

Traffic will reduce to a single lane in each direction during daytime hours while crews work near the interstate.

Crews will use a helicopter to string power lines over the roadway. Minnesota State Patrol troopers will be on site to assist travelers through the work zone.

Motorists may be required to stop briefly. As they approach the work zone, drivers should slow down, be alert and keep traveling, unless directed by law enforcement.

Several additional I-94 wire crossings will occur between Alexandria and Barnesville this summer and fall.
