Drivers should also be on the alert for an influx of large belly-dump trucks entering the <br />traffic flow within a couple of miles of the interchange area in both directions of <br />travel. <br /> <br />Temporary lane closures on Highway 169 in the southbound and/or northbound directions can <br />be expected during off peak travel times throughout the project time frame. <br /> <br />Southbound lane closures WILL NOT BE ALLOWED between the hours of 5:00 to 9:00 a.m. Monday <br />through Friday. Additionally, NO LA_NE CLOSURES WILL BE ALLOWED between 12:00 p.m. noon on <br />Friday through 9:00 a.m. Monday. <br /> <br />Northbound lane closures WILL NOT BE ALLOWED between the hours of 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. Monday <br />through Thursday; and from 12:00 p.m. noon Friday through 6:00 a.m. Monday. <br /> <br />Sherburne County Road 33 will be detoured on both the east and west side of Highway 169. <br />Drivers will not be able to access Highway 169 at the current County Road 33 intersection. <br />The detours, both running northward, will take effect around May 10 and last for the <br />duration of the project. <br /> <br />The detour route on the west side is via Sherburne County Road 77 and 213th Avenue. The <br />east side detour is via Sherburne County Highway 21 (Brook Road), Sherburne County Road 70 <br />and Sherburne County Road 24 (Twin Lakes Road). <br /> <br />There will be another short detour put into effect in the southeast quadrant of the <br />interchange work later this fall as well. <br /> <br />This project is one of seven in central Minnesota to be advanced under Mn/DOT's "Moving <br />Minnesota" initiative to improve safety, reduce congestion, increase mobility, and enhance <br />the performance on many of the state's Inter-Regional Corridor highways. <br /> <br />A one-time allocation of nearly $560 million was authorized by the Minnesota state <br />legislature in 2000, of which $68.3 million was designated to Mn/DOT District Three in the <br />central part of the state. <br /> <br />For information about state transportation topics in central Minnesota, log on to Mn/DOT <br />District Three's web site at www.dot.state.mn.us/d3.
