The Minnesota Department of Transportation would like to alert drivers that crews will begin to clear brush and trees along both sides of Interstate 94 between Monticello and Clearwater on Monday, March 15.

If you are headed in this area please watch for crews, slow down and obey traffic laws as both directions of I-94 will require shoulder closures.

MnDOT says the clearing will be done to prepare the area for infiltration pond construction and road work that will begin later this spring.
