CLOUD, Minn. - The new interchange at U.S. Highway 169 at Sherburne County Road 33, on <br />the north end of the Elk River city limits opened to traffic on Tuesday, November 4, <br />reports the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT). <br /> <br />According to Mn/DOT project officials, motorists should plan for intermittent daytime lane <br />closures as crews complete the remaining work on the realignment of County Road 21 on the <br />east side of the project. <br /> <br />Work on the highway improvement began in April. Over the summer, crews constructed of a <br />full diamond interchange approximately one mile north of 197th Avenue, with Sherburne <br />County Road 33 running east/west, going over Highway 169. In addition, the County Road 21 <br />realignment was part of the project. <br /> <br />Motorists are urged to use caution and slow down through the work zone. Weather <br />permitting, the $6.1 million highway improvement project will be finished in mid-to-late <br />November. <br /> <br />Remember to dial 5-1-1 or log onto 511mn.org before you go. <br /> <br />Cathy M.
