News Release

(Roseville, Minn.) - Repairs and rehabilitation of two sets of bridges on Highway 10 in the city of Anoka begins Monday, June 16. The bridges carry traffic over the BNSF Railroad tracks at 7th Avenue and over the Rum River at Ferry Street (Highway 47).

Traffic will be restricted to a single lane in each direction on Highway 10 as work begins on the first set bridges at the railroad tracks just east of 7th Ave. While the inside lanes are being repaired, the ramps between 7th Ave. and Highway 10 will remain open. When work moves to the outside lane of the bridge toward the end of the month, the westbound exit from Highway 10 to 7th Ave. will close along with the ramp from 7th Ave. to eastbound Highway 10. Work is expected to be complete before the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Following the Anoka County Fair in late July, work will begin July 28 on the bridges carrying Hwy. 10 over the Rum River near Ferry Street. During the bridge rehabilitation the ramps from westbound Highway 10 to Ferry Street and from Ferry Street to eastbound Highway 10 will be closed for work on the outside of the highway. The ramps will reopen to traffic around the third week of August once work is completed on the outside lanes of the bridges.

Weather permitting, the entire project will be completed by late August.
During the ramp closures, motorists should follow the marked detours using Greenhaven Road.
