Fergus Falls, MN – Starting Tuesday, October 13, weather permitting, the south junction of Western Avenue in Fergus Falls will close temporarily to allow crews to install underground pipe across the roadway, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The work is part of the Highway 210/I-94 Interchange Reconstruction Project.

The closure will take place at the Western Avenue intersection just south of Highway 210. Crews will set up the detour in the early evening on Monday, with the hard closure starting Tuesday morning and lasting through Wednesday, potentially into Thursday, weather permitting. Western Avenue traffic will be detoured to Kennedy Park Road. Drivers traveling east and west on Highway 210 will not be impacted. 

MnDOT reminds motorists to travel with caution through work zones, slow down, and never enter an area blocked by barriers or cones.
