Z ARCHIVE Metro - Hwy 316 in Hastings: 2021-2022 construction
The current closures and traffic control will remain in place on Hwy 316 for the next couple of weeks as we work to complete the project. There is still the potential for reopening sections of the highway earlier. However, this reopening cannot occur without final paving and striping/temporary striping in the area. All areas of the project are expected to reopen by the end of day Sat, Nov. 6. The current closures will continue to provide for the safety of the construction team and public while providing a quality road surface when the work is done.
Here’s what you can continue to expect during this time:
- Hwy 316 remains closed to through traffic, requiring temporary detours during construction.
- Regional through traffic should continue using the Hwy 61 regional detour.
- Local traffic with a destination in the City of Hastings can use the local detour on 10th St. and Glendale Rd./Nicolai Ave. (Co. Rd. 91).
- Hwy 316 between the north junction with Hwy 61 and 31st St. remains closed to all traffic.
- Residential access to the Spiral Business Park area and the Hastings Civic Arena should continue to follow the signed detour using 21st St. and Commerce Dr.
- Trucks/delivery access to the Spiral Business Park area and the Hastings Civic Arena should continue to use 10th St. and Glendale Rd. to reach Spiral Blvd.
- All access to the 33rd St. businesses will continue to be through the Hwy 61/33rd St. intersection.
- Hwy 316 between 31st St. and Malcolm Ave. remain closed except for local traffic to and from residences or businesses with driveways directly to Hwy 316. Obey all construction signs and watch for construction personnel and activity if travelling on this section of Hwy 316.
- Hwy 316 between Malcolm Ave. and Tuttle Dr. remains closed to all traffic.
- Residents in the Tuttle Dr. neighborhoods will use the newly constructed Hwy 316/Tuttle Dr. roundabout to/from Co. Rd. 91 to access their neighborhood (the local detour route).
“Road Closed” to “Thru Traffic” and/or “Local Traffic Only” means you need to take a different route and should only cross the barrier if you have no other option to reach your destinations within the restricted area. For example, if the driveway to your home or worksite can only be accessed on the restricted roadway, you are local traffic and not thru traffic. If your destination is outside the restricted area, you should take another route and not go through.
Travelers should not enter a road that is closed or marked as private to bypass this closure.
We will continue to send updates as schedules or detours in the area change.
This work is part of a summer/fall project on Hwy 316 to add three roundabouts, add medians and pave the road between Michael Ave. to north of Spiral Ave.
The pavement on Hwy 316 from the north junction of Hwy 61 to Michael Ave. has outlived its useful life and will be replaced this year. The project is anticipated to be complete in November 2021.
