Good news--Crews will begin to remove the detour Thursday evening, Oct. 10. All lanes will be open in time for this weekend! Thanks for your patience during this two month detour. New! 2020 Traffic Plan.

Work operations will suspend for the 2019-2020 winter season. MnDOT will host another construction open house in March 2020.
