Roseville, Minn.— Repairs to Highway 8 in Center City will begin May 26, from one half mile west of County Highway 9 to just east of County Highway 9 in CHISAGO COUNTY. Work will include widening and resurfacing of the roadway and adding turn lanes.

Traffic will be shifted slightly to the north and turn lanes will be eliminated during the initial construction. Traffic will be maintained in a single lane each direction. The project is expected to be completed in November 2005.

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.
