I-94 Corridor update

2012 Projects

• A new 34th Street interchange in Moorhead was constructed in 2011. As part of that project, the Main Avenue/Clay CR 52 ramps were closed. However, the city of Moorhead and MnDOT recently received FHWA approval to reconstruct and reopen the ramps. That project is scheduled for late summer.
• Rehabilitate the Buffalo River Bridges east of Hwy 336.

2013 Projects

• The Hwy 78 bridge over I-94 (Ashby/Barrett exit) will be rehabilitated.

2015/2016 Projects

• A reconstruction project at the Hwy 29 interchange in Alexandria is planned to replace the northbound and southbound Hwy 29 bridges, replace the existing interchange with a new tight diamond interchange and expand Hwy 29 to four lanes south of the interchange for approximately one mile. This project will be designed based on the 2011 Alexandria Area Transportation Study and will be partially funded with Chapter 152 bonds.
• A planned interchange reconstruction project at the Hwy 75 interchange in Moorhead will include the addition of loop ramps at the northeast and southeast quadrants to eliminate left-turn movements. Pedestrian/bicycle improvements are also planned. An auxiliary lane on eastbound I-94 will be added from Eighth Street to 20th Street to accommodate peak morning and afternoon traffic. The project is based on a 2008 corridor study completed in cooperation with FMCOG, the city of Moorhead and Clay County.
• Grant CR 19 bridge over I-94 is planned for rehabilitation.
• A culvert replacement project on I-94 south of Ashby over Pelican Creek is planned to replace the existing pipes with a double box concrete culvert.
