Seventh weekend closure of Hwy 52 between I-494 and I-94 begins June 11

If you are traveling on Hwy 52 between I-494 in Inver Grove Heights and I-94 in St. Paul you can expect another detour this weekend; this weekend it will be northbound Hwy 52, weather permitting.

Beginning at 9 p.m. tomorrow, June 11, northbound Hwy 52 will be closed between I-494 in Inver Grove Heights and I-94 in St. Paul through 5 a.m. Mon, June 14. You can expect to encounter lane and ramp closures to begin prior to the full closure at 8 p.m.

During the closure, motorists should follow the signed detour using I-494, northbound Hwy 61 and westbound I-94 to access southbound Hwy 52.

During the weekend closure the following ramps will also be closed at least one hour prior to the mainline road closure:

• I-494 to northbound Hwy 52
• Southview Blvd. to/from northbound Hwy 52
• Thompson Blvd. to/from northbound Hwy 52
• Butler Ave. to/from northbound Hwy 52

Beginning at 4 p.m. Sat, June 12 southbound Hwy 52 will be reduced to a single lane between Wentworth Ave. and I-494. This lane closure is expected to last through 6 a.m. Sun, June 13 and will be dependent on traffic levels and will be adjusted if they are too high.

This closure is the seventh of seven weekend directional closures on Hwy 52. While crews have the road closed, they will be resurfacing the road between I-494 in Inver Grove Heights and Hwy 156/Concord St. in St. Paul, as well as repairing concrete between Concord St. and Plato Blvd. in St. Paul. During construction, there also will be several ramp closures in this area that will last up to one week.

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.
