DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – All traffic on Interstate 94 northwest of Fergus Falls has shifted to the eastbound lanes.
A
single lane of traffic remains open in each direction while crews begin
work on the westbound bridge deck over Otter Tail County Road 10.
The
project began in April and is expected to last through October. For the
first half of the construction season, crews worked on the eastbound
bridge.
Speed
limits on I-94 are reduced to 60 mph through the work zone. Motorists
are reminded that violators will be fined a minimum of $300.
This
project re-uses the existing beams and bridge substructure, which are
in satisfactory condition. The new bridge decks will extend the life of
the bridges and result in a smoother road surface. This project helps
ensure MnDOT’s transportation system will continue to serve the state
for many years.
