Interstate work may slow traffic

Motorists may experience brief lane closures with flaggers at the intersection of Interstate 35 and Interstate 90 near Albert Lea beginning Sept. 13, as crews set poles and install lighting.

All installation is scheduled to be completed by the end of September, weather permitting.

The upgraded intersection lighting will improve safety at the I-35/I-90 intersection.

Mankato Electric Inc. is the prime contractor for the project.

Culvert work to slow traffic

Motorists traveling westbound on Interstate 90 in Austin will encounter single-lane traffic near Exit 181/28th Street Tuesday, Sept. 6, while crews conduct culvert repairs.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation urges motorists to always drive with caution, slow down in work zones and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
