Traffic will be reduced to a single lane near the Innovation Road/Keats Avenue Bridge over U.S. 61 in Cottage Grove beginning Sunday.
The traffic reduction will impact southbound U.S. 61/U.S. 10 near the Innovation Road interchange from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. nightly until an anticipated completion date of Oct. 21. The southbound lanes of the bridge over U.S. 61 will remain closed during the work, according to a press release from the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
“The Innovation Road/Keats Avenue bridge was hit by an over height vehicle last month making these repairs necessary,” MnDOT said in the statement, and these repairs are just the first stage of the work.
Traffic will be detoured onto the Innovation Road/Keats Avenue off and on ramps. Southbound U.S. 61/U.S. 10 will be reopened to two lanes each morning, and the northbound highway will not be affected by the repair work.
