A portion of Highway 19 is set to be temporarily closed in order for crews to make repairs after springtime flooding caused erosion.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) says the highway will be closed from east of Henderson to Highway 169 starting Sept. 25.
If the weather cooperates, traffic is expected to be detoured until late October, MnDOT officials say. Drivers can take Highway 169 or Highway 93 until the work is complete.
People driving to Ney Nature Center can get there from Highway 169 to Highway 19.
