Roseville, Minn.—The construction of a storm sewer box culvert and a bike trail underneath Highway 8 in Chisago City will begin at 7 a.m. Monday, September 8, and run continuously through Saturday, September 13, weather permitting. Highway 8 will be closed between East Street and the Faith Assembly Church/Chisago County Development Center. The posted detour will route traffic north to County Rd. 77, east to County Rd. 19 and south to County Rd. 14 before returning to Highway 8.
