Valley News Live has reported that the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation (MN DOT) is implementing changes to construction zones on I-94 in Moorhead after a recent crash that claimed three lives.
Many drivers in the Fargo-Moorhead area are concerned with the road construction on I-94 heading into Moorhead, due to how the road becomes a bottleneck and it gets congested. Some commented on the fatal accident.
”I feel that these deaths are firmly on the head of the Minnesota DOT for not having adequate signage.” said Edward Lloyd.
The DOT said the crash prompted them to reevaluate their plans, and they will put concrete barriers in place of plastic cones to bolster safety.
”We want to take these special precautions and try to make that work zone even safer and protect our workers and the contractor out on the highway,” said Shiloh Wahl, MN DOT District 4 engineer. “That’s why we’re installing the concrete jersey barrier out there to open up two lanes heading out westbound."
