I-94 Closed Between Fergus Falls and Moorhead

The Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Minnesota State Patrol have closed the following state and federal highways:

• Interstate 94 between Moorhead and Fergus Falls
• Highway 10 from Moorhead to Detroit Lakes
• Highway 75 from Perley to Wolverton
• Highway 9 from Borup to Barnesville
• Highway 32 from north of Ulen to Highway 34
• Highway 34 from I-94 to Dunvilla
• Highway 108 from I-94 to Pelican Rapids

High winds and blowing snow have created dangerous whiteout conditions, and roads are icy and snow-covered. The highways are closed due to multiple vehicles blocking the roadway. They will remain closed until driving conditions improve.

Motorists should plan accordingly. When a road is closed it is illegal to travel in that area. Motorists can be fined up to $1,000 and/or sentenced to 90 days in jail. In addition, if travelers need to be rescued from a closed road, other expenses and penalties will apply.

No travel advisory remains in effect for other state highways in Becker, Douglas, Grant, Mahnomen, Otter Tail, Wilkin and portions of Traverse County.
