D3 - Hwy 169 Redefine - Elk River freeway: 2022-2024 construction

Evans St. closes at 197th Ave.

Crews will close Evans St. NW at the 197th Ave. NW intersection at 6 a.m. Wednesday morning, July 6. Follow the signed Evans St. detour along 196th Ln. NW, Wilson St. NW, back to 197th Ave. NW. 

197th Ave. NW  is closed between Irving St. NW/Holt St. and Dodge St. NW., includes access to/from Hwy 169. For your safety and ours stay out of closed/barricaded areas.

The closure is necessary to reconstruct the intersection to the future interchange. The detour will remain in place until the east side work is completed in early fall.
