Traffic Delays Possible Due to HWY 52 Bridge Work Near Rochester
Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - Southbound traffic on Highway 52 just southeast of Rochester is scheduled to be restricted to one lane beginning on Monday.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the lane closure is needed to allow crews to repair the bridge deck on Highway 52 where it passes over 36th Street Southeast. Their work will start on the left lane and will later switch to the right lane before the entire project is completed near the end of the month.
MnDOT says motorists could encounter lane shifts, uneven road surfaces, construction equipment, and other unexpected obstacles while the work is being completed. Officials also say to expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
