DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – Starting at approximately 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 4, and lasting for several hours overnight, motorists will encounter a westbound lane closure on Interstate 94 in Moorhead.

Crews will also shorten up the lane closure on the eastbound side. Some work remains on the guardrail near the 34th Street/SE Main Avenue/County Road 52 interchange, so there will be a lane closure in that area until Saturday, Aug. 6.
