Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – Road construction is wrapping up this week on Interstate 94 west of Alexandria.

According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, westbound traffic on I-94 will be shifted to the newly resurfaced westbound lanes on Oct. 9.

They also added, for the next two weeks, drivers will encounter lane closures in both directions as road crews finish their cleanup and begin removing the crossovers and other traffic control devices.

Motorists had been experiencing head-to-head traffic on the major interstate since August as crews resurfaced the westbound lanes.

MnDOT is still encouraging drivers to be attentive when travelling through construction zones and to slow down in the posted work zones until the road is completely opened back up to normal traffic.
