DETROIT LAKES, Minn.—On Thursday, Sept. 14 and Friday, Sept. 15, the westbound Interstate 94 off-ramp at Highway 114 (Exit 97) will close for several hours as paving crews work near the interchange for the current westbound I-94 concrete resurfacing project, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. During the ramp closures, motorists will be advised to use Exit 100 onto Highway 27 to Highway 114.
The off-ramp will close on Thursday, Sept. 14, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., and then again on Friday, Sept. 15 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. The closures are necessary for work zone safety as concrete paving operations take place near the interchange.
