Accessibility improvements in Bird Island, Olivia begin May 4
WILLMAR, Minn. – Motorists may encounter daytime shoulder and lane closures in Bird Island and Olivia as crews install new accessible pedestrian signals and countdown pedestrian indicators today, May 4 at:
- Highway 212 junction with Renville County Road 5 in Bird Island
- Highway 212 junction with Ninth Street in Olivia
Accessible pedestrian signals improve safety for individuals with hearing or sight impairments by providing directions in alternative formats using verbal messages, audible tones and vibrating surfaces. More information about the new signals can be found at www.dot.state.mn.us/signs/aps/.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-May, weather permitting.
Motorists are reminded to drive with extreme caution through the work zones and watch for workers and equipment.
