OWATONNA, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 14 and Interstate 35 motorists near Owatonna will experience lane and ramp closures beginning Aug. 24 as crews resurface the roads, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Highway 14 eastbound and westbound lanes will be resurfaced from I-35 to Highway 218. I-35 northbound and southbound lanes will be resurfaced from Highway 14 to the Straight River Rest Area. Lane closures will be in place during the work, which begins after the Steele County Fair has closed.
