Traffic Moves to New Highway 210 Bridge While Construction Continues

Fergus Falls, MN – The Highway 210/I-94 Interchange Reconstruction Project has taken its next major step despite the rainy days last week as traffic moves onto the new bridge and road as of Saturday.

MnDOT says the intersection functions as a roundabout, but there are temporary lanes to connect the new alignment with the old alignment so crews can complete the west and south legs of the roundabout. Please travel with caution through the intersection and the entire work area.

The north ramps (eastbound I-94 off-ramp and westbound I-94 on-ramp) will be reopening later this week. MnDOT says there are still a few things to wrap on the ramps before they’re ready for traffic. Continue to use the detour on County Road 1/Tower Road.

In addition to the shift in traffic on the bridge, I-94 traffic is now running head-to-head to allow crews to finish up work underneath the bridge.

MnDOT wants to remind motorists that the roadway is still an active work zone. There will be workers still finishing up work on the bridge, and other activities will be happening alongside the new alignment to get the final connections completed. Slow down in the work zone, and travel with care and caution. Please practice patience with your fellow drivers, as everyone is getting used to the new traffic patterns.
