Highway 16 motorists will be detoured at Spring Valley to Highway 63 beginning Monday as part of a paving and culvert replacement project this summer from Dexter to Spring Valley, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Repaving will be on approximately 15 miles of Highway 16 from Spring Valley to Grand Meadow to Dexter. The project should be complete by mid-October.
Two separate detours are planned. One will be in place and work will be completed on that section before the second detour is started. The first detour will begin Monday, May 6:
•Detour 1 (Four weeks) Highway 16 in Spring Valley to Fillmore County Road 8 to Highway 63 to Highway 16.
•Detour 2 (Two months) Highway 16 at Dexter to Mower County Road 7 to Mower County Road 2 to Highway 63.
Detours will be in effect during two stages of the project to allow for culvert replacements. Local traffic will be able to reach businesses and residences via side roads to Highway 16.
