For the time being - as the COVID-19 Pandemic response is in place, MNDOT is working hard to adhere to Governor Tim Walz's Stay at Home executive order. Road work has been identified as a Critical Service by the state and will continue on.

Here are some important reminders from MNDOT about safety in regards to this specific project as well as any of the projects you might encounter this summer:

Slow down when approaching a work zone
Use caution when navigating through the marked-off work area
Stay alert - work zones constantly change
Watch for workers and slow moving equipment
Obey the posted speed limits. Fine for a violation in a work zone is $300
Minimize distractions behind the wheel
Be patient
Expect delays - especially during peak travel times
