The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has issued a new update about reprioritization of work on State Highway 114 north of Lowry. Read on for more details from MnDOT:
Hwy 114 work ahead: Ditch cleaning & entrance pipes
Due to last week’s rain days, crews on Highway 114 have made a few adjustments to their plan and schedule. The work will still start down on the south end, but they’ll begin with ditch cleaning and replacing entrance pipes along the corridor. Most of this work will take place on the roadside, in the right of way, but there may be times when various entrances or approaches may be restricted for a few hours. Your patience and cooperation are important and appreciated!
Centerline culvert work may start as early as next week if the contractor is able to bring in another crew. As a reminder, the roadway will be impassable at each culvert site for 1-3 days when the work occurs. They’ll start at Pipe 1, on the south end of the project, working north.
Local traffic should always slow down—please remember you are in an active work zone, even in areas where workers aren’t present. The culvert sites throughout the entire project area are currently loose gravel, so please drive slowly while approaching each one.
Please stay alert for heavy equipment and trucks hauling throughout the entire corridor. Thank you for staying committed to safety for all!
More project information
We have two years of projects scheduled on Highway 114. This year’s project includes culvert replacements between Highway 55 and I-94, and roundabout construction at the intersection of Highway 27 and Highway 114. Next year, we’ll come back for another project to resurface the entire roadway.
Check the project website for project information, construction updates, and MnDOT contacts. We’re here to help!
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change. MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, slow down in work zones where workers are present, and never enter an area that’s blocked by barriers or cones.
