DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – Starting Wed., July 22, weather permitting, a portion 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 and I-94 interchange improvement project.
The closure will take place at the Western Avenue intersection just north of Highway 210, and is expected to last up to five days. Western Avenue traffic will be detoured to local streets around the closure. Drivers traveling east and west on Highway 210 will not be impacted.
The same work will take place at the Western Avenue intersection south of Highway 210 at a later date.
MnDOT reminds motorists to travel with caution through work zones, slow down, and never enter an area blocked by barriers or cones. All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather and schedule permitting and subject to change.
