Project information
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has identified snow trap locations throughout west central Minnesota. These are areas that are typically open with no wind breaks, causing blowing and drifting snow issues for drivers. Learn more about MnDOT's snow fence program.
As MnDOT receives funding, we will address known snow trap locations along I-94 between Moorhead and Alexandria.
