DETROIT
LAKES, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 10 just east of Highway 9 near
Glyndon will encounter lane closures when a bridge replacement project
begins May 14, weather permitting.
Crews will replace the eastbound Highway 10 bridge over the Buffalo River.
During
the first two weeks of the project, motorists will experience lane
closures while crews install temporary crossovers in the median.
For
the remainder of the project, all traffic will shift to the north side
of Highway 10 with a single lane of traffic in each direction.
Traffic
delays are possible this summer, particularly on Friday evenings and
Sunday afternoons, as people travel between the lakes area and the
Fargo-Moorhead area.
All work on the reconstruction project is expected to be complete by August, weather permitting.
When
the road work is complete, motorists will notice a newer, safer bridge
over the Buffalo River. This project helps ensure MnDOT’s transportation
system will continue to serve the state for many years.
