News Release

(Roseville, Minn.) – Motorists should watch for lane closures between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. next Monday and Tuesday, April 11 and 12, during repairs to the Hennepin County Road 101 bridge spanning Highway 12 in Wayzata. Crews will close two of the bridge’s four lanes next week to replace a rubber seal across an expansion joint at the south end of the bridge. The seal covers the expansion joint to prevent water from flowing through the bridge deck and causing erosion to the embankment beneath the structure.

In case of inclement weather, the work will be delayed until later in the week.

Drivers should use alternate routes to avoid congestion during the project. Please watch for workers on the bridge and drive carefully past the equipment and crews.

Mn/DOT reminds motorists to SLOW DOWN in the work zone and NEVER enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones. Please join us in a safety partnership. For statewide traffic, construction and travel information visit www.511mn.org or call 511.
