The Minnesota Department of Transportation will work on portions of Interstate 90 this summer in western Rock County. The $17 million project includes:
•Resurfacing concrete on eastbound I-90 lanes between Beaver Creek and the South Dakota state line.
•Resurfacing concrete on westbound I-90 lanes between County Road 11 (Steen blacktop) and the South Dakota state line.
•Reconstructing shoulders.
•Extending outside ramp shoulders for truck parking.
•Repairing guardrail.
•Improving drainage (cleaning, repairing, or replacing pipes and culverts).
•Upgrading guardrails and lighting.
Traffic impacts
Traffic will utilize crossovers with a head-to-head configuration during construction (head-to-head in westbound lanes during eastbound work and head-to-head in eastbound lanes during westbound work).
County Road 6 ramps will remain open to I-90 traffic for Beaver Creek access, but Highway 23 ramps will be closed alternately.
When the eastbound lanes are closed for the first stage of construction, the eastbound Highway 23 exit and entrance ramps will be closed.
When westbound lanes are under construction, the westbound ramps for Highway 23 will be closed.
For Stage 3 work, the westbound ramps at County Road 6 will be closed.
The I-90 construction is part of Minnesota’s 184 road and bridge projects, plus 51 multimodal projects to improve airports, water ports and transit infrastructure.
“Minnesotans will soon see work zones popping up throughout the state,” said MnDOT Interim Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger.
“As always, safety is MnDOT’s top priority – so we urge motorists to pay attention to signage in work zones, slow down, and put away distractions behind the wheel. Everyone, including our hard-working road and construction workers, deserves to get home safely.”
