(KNSI) – A major highway will be closed to all traffic in St. Cloud to remove an old bridge.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has shut down both directions of Highway 10 from Highway 23 between 15th Avenue/Seventh Street Southeast in St. Cloud and Benton Drive in Sauk Rapids. The closure started at 7:00 a.m. Monday and will go until 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday. The 52-hour closure is necessary to remove the old eastbound Highway 23 bridge that spans Highway 10. Detours will be posted.
When completed in November 2024, the $43.7 million interchange project will invest in infrastructure that will last 60-plus years, provide a smoother road surface, and improve motorist and pedestrian safety and access throughout.
To avoid delays, consider an alternate route and check road conditions ahead of time at 511mn.org.
