=== Minnesota === {{Main|Interstate 94 in Minnesota}} Leaving Fargo and entering [[Moorhead, Minnesota]], I-94/US 52 crosses the Red River. East of [[Moorhead Municipal Airport]], the Interstate travels in a northwest–southeast trajectory past [[Fergus Falls, Minnesota|Fergus Falls]], [[Alexandria, Minnesota|Alexandria]], and [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]] on the way to the [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul|Twin Cities]] and eastward out of the state. The road crosses the [[Mississippi River]] in [[Minneapolis]] between the [[Prospect Park, Minneapolis|Prospect Park]] and [[Seward, Minneapolis|Seward]] neighborhoods. As it crosses over the only true gorge along the Mississippi's entire {{convert|2350|mi|km|adj=on}} length, where steep bluffs extend to the waterline.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://fmr.org/geology-and-natural-history-mississippi-river-gorge |title = Geology and Natural History of the Mississippi River Gorge |publisher = Friends of the Mississippi River |date = March 13, 2008 }}</ref> The highway joins Minneapolis and [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|Saint Paul]] together where it meets [[Minnesota State Highway 280]] (MN 280).
