Reconstruct interchange
Roadwork begins in mid-April
MnDOT will reconstruct the Hwy 10 and 23 interchange area in east St. Cloud in 2023 and 2024. Project requires one-lane traffic in each direction. Plan ahead. Expect delays and changes to access.
Warning rough road surface
Avoid the rough road surface.
- Local traffic: Seek alternate routes
- Through traffic: Use alternate route along Hwy 15, I-94 to Clearwater and Hwy 24 back to Hwy 10 in Clear Lake
Current impacts
Through early May
The current road surface on Hwy 10 and Hwy 23 is extremely rough. Potholes have formed and the asphalt has crumbled due to age and reoccurring freeze/thaw cycles. Our maintenance crews have been out there patching, but unfortunately, the pavement will not hold until temperatures improve.
- Note: MnDOT will repair the road surface in areas, prior to mainline construction
In the meantime, we ask that you drive slowly with caution or seek alternate routes. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
