2021-22 Construction:
Hwy 29 overpass near Glenwood

Hwy 29 closure & detour start April 11

On Monday, April 11, Highway 29 will close between County Road 28 and Highway 55 near Glenwood. The detour will follow County Road 28 and Highway 55. Those traveling north or south to/from Starbuck will be directed to Highway 114, too.

Construction schedule

The work begins north of the Highway 55 intersection. Crews will construct the piers for the bridge as well as the embankment north of the railroad tracks. It'll take a couple of months for these things to take shape, but it's an important first step in building the new bridge! 

Local traffic: If you have a destination within the closed portion of Highway 29, you will not be able to cross the railroad tracks. You will have to access Highway 29 from the north end of the detour route near the County Road 28 intersection. 

Highway 55 remains open during construction 

Highway 55 will remain open throughout the duration of construction as part of the detour. For the first two months, motorists will use the existing Highway 55 alignment. Then, in mid-June, when crews begin work on the south side of the overpass bridge and roundabout at 160th Street, traffic will officially be switched to the new alignment! 

Traffic changes starting in June In mid-June, crews will start working on the south side of the Highway 55 intersection too. At that time, Highway 29 will close on both sides of Highway 55 for the remainder of the project (through October). The detour route to/from Glenwood will then be extended on Highway 55 and Highway 28 in Glenwood. More information to come on that as we get closer to June.
