ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will temporarily close the Highway 24 bridge over Interstate 94 in Clearwater during overnight hours from Monday night, Nov. 16, through Thursday morning, Nov. 19, as crews place bridge beams for the new bridge at the Highway 24 interchange.

Drivers on Highway 24 will not be able to cross or access I-94 ramps.
Signed detour routes will direct Highway 24 traffic around the closure.

From 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., both directions of I-94 will be reduced to one lane, and traffic will be directed off and back onto the interstate using the interchange ramps.
