(KNSI) – Highway 15 is officially open to St. Cloud motorists.
The St. Cloud Police Department initially shut down the highway due to a fire caused by a downed power line earlier today. The closure stretched from 3rd Street North to Veterans Drive, with utility workers on the scene for repairs. The department had also urged drivers to choose an alternate route as these repairs were made.
