Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) announced the purpose of the closure is so crews can work on a project that will provide an alternate pedestrian crossing that will enhance safety.

Crews will also install a roundabout on the south frontage road to improve traffic flow on the way to Highway 55.

Drivers can take Highway 169, Highway 100 and I-394 as alternate routes.
