Westbound County Road 81 scheduled to reopen June 1 at 6 p.m.

 

ROSEVILLE, Minn. – Westbound County Road 81 in Maple Grove between Elm Creek Boulevard and Fernbrook Lane is scheduled to reopen to single lane of traffic starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 1.

 

The roadway has been closed since last week to maintain motorist safety during roadway cleanup activities and stockpile maintenance in the Hwy 610 project area as a result of recent storms.

 

Eastbound County Road 81 continues to remain closed until further notice.  During this time the posted detour is south on Fernbrook Lane to County Road 30 and east to County Road 81. 

 

The new Hwy 610 alignment includes nearly three miles of four-lane highway between Hwy 169 in Brooklyn Park and County Road 81 in Maple Grove. Construction is scheduled to be complete in July 2011.
