Project completed
The Minnesota Department of Transportation completed concrete resurfacing (unbonded concrete overlay) on westbound Interstate 94 from Alexandria to the Douglas/Todd County line near Osakis. There were seven bridges total on the project, four of which included full replacements of the eastbound and westbound bridges that cross the Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway and County Road 23.
Construction was completed over two years. In 2024, westbound I-94 closed for concrete resurfacing and bridge work/replacements. In 2025, eastbound I-94 closed near the CR 23 and CP Railway bridges for eastbound bridge replacements. Motorists encountered crossovers and head-to-head traffic in this area during construction.
The overall project addresses identified needs of pavement condition and ride quality, and guardrail improvements to improve safety and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
