Current traffic impacts
- Coming up: Starting July 22, weather permitting, lasting up to five days, the north intersection of Western Avenue and Highway 210 will temporarily close to allow for installation of pipe across the roadway. Western Avenue traffic, please follow the detour. Drivers traveling east and west on Highway 210 will not be impacted.
- The same work will be performed at the south intersection of Highway 210 and Western Avenue at a later date.
What motorists can expect through October:
- The interchange ramps are closed to all travelers during construction. I-94 traffic to/from Highway 210 in Fergus Falls, use detour on County Road 1/Tower Road (Exit 55).
- Head-to-head traffic and reduced speeds on I-94 near the interchange.
- Highway 210 is open for east/west travelers during construction. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction on the south bridge.
Project summary
The Minnesota Department of Transportation will reconstruct the Highway 210 west junction with Interstate 94 in Fergus Falls. The project is currently scheduled for construction in 2026.
As part of this project, the existing bridges will be replaced. MnDOT will replace the existing two bridges with a single structure.
With the bridge replacement, the roadway will reduce from four lanes to two lanes, with trails constructed on both sides of the road for pedestrian and bicycle use. Roundabouts will be constructed at the interchange ramps and Redwood Lane.
The I-94 eastbound on-ramp and westbound off-ramp will also be realigned to follow the adjusted roadway. At the westbound off-ramp, the tie in will allow for a flatter approach. At the eastbound on-ramp, the ramp will be realigned for easier merging.
Project elements
- Replace bridges
- Reconstruct interchange ramps
- Realignment of western ramps
- Improve bicycle and pedestrian access
- Construct three roundabouts
