Motorists should watch for closures in both directions on Wright Co. Rd. 19 under the I-94 bridge starting Aug. 5. The closure is necessary so crews can safely demolish the I-94 bridge over Co. Rd. 19.
Beginning Wed, Aug. 5, northbound Co. Rd. 19 will be closed completely at the I-94 bridge through Fri, Aug. 7. Southbound Co. Rd. 19 will close nightly from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. Here are the detours for the road closure:
-
Northbound Co. Rd. 19 Detour: Northbound Co. Rd. 19 to Co. Rd. 37 to the westbound I-94 local access road to Co. Rd. 19
-
Southbound Co. Rd. 19 Detour: Southbound Co. Rd. 19 to westbound I-94 to Co. Rd. 18/Fenning Ave. to eastbound I-94 to Co. Rd. 19
- Detour adds 13 miles round trip
Please plan ahead and give yourself additional time.
 Nearby Wright County project
We also want to make you aware of another nearby road project. Wright County has been working on reconstructing Co. Rd. 19 and Co. Rd. 38 in Albertville. On Mon, Aug. 3, Co. Rd. 19 will close in both directions between Lamplight Dr. and 70th St. Northbound traffic will detour to Co. Rd. 37 to Maciver Ave. NE to Co. Rd. 38 to Co. Rd. 19. Southbound traffic will detour to Co. Rd. 38 to Maciver Ave. NE to Co. Rd. 37 to Co. Rd. 19. The detour will be in place for approximately eight weeks. For more information, visit Wright County's project website.
Please drive with care in work zones:
- Slow down when approaching every work zone, then navigate with care and caution
- Stay alert; work zones constantly change
- Watch for workers and slow moving equipment
- Obey posted speed limits. Fine for a violation in a work zone is $300.
- Minimize distractions behind the wheel
- Be patient; expect delays, especially during peak travel times
Road work continues to be a critical service. MnDOT is committed to protecting the health, safety and well-being of its employees, contractors and all Minnesotans. Crews continue to follow the guidance of state and federal health officials to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We are making improvements to a 39-mile stretch of I-94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater, that includes more travel lanes, rebuilt bridges, improved drainage and the resurfacing of deteriorating pavement. Additionally, a new interchange is being constructed on I-94 near the city of Dayton. The improvements will reduce congestion, improve safety, improve freight movement, enhance economic vitality and provide a smoother ride for users of I-94. The project began in 2019 and is expected to be complete by 2021.
