Current local traffic impact: Restrictions and impassable areas between Highway 55 and County Road 26, south of Pocket Lake as crews work on Pipes 2 and 3.
This week, crews moved down to the south end of the project to start on the rest of centerline culvert replacements. They have finished replacing "Pipe 1," and are currently working on "Pipe 2" (see map below). Weather definitely plays a part in how quickly they can progress at each site, and with the rain, it's looking like they'll be working at the Pipe 2 location for the rest of the week. They'll continue north to "Pipe 3" as they finish up here.
During these centerline culvert replacements, there are hard closure at each culvert site for 1-3 days, potentially overnight too. Residents and local traffic need to find an alternate route around the culvert site where the crews are working. You may have to come from the opposite direction you're used to taking, depending on your location and path of travel. That will vary and change as work continues from culvert-to-culvert. Your patience and cooperation are important! Thank you!
Once they are done with Pipe 2 and Pipe 3, they'll continue north.
Completed work
- Replace entrance pipes throughout the entire project
- Replace Pipe 12 and 13 north of Highway 27
- Ditch cleaning
- Replace Pipe 1
Upcoming schedule
- Finish replacing Pipe 2
- Replace Pipe 3 and continue north
- Clean and line existing pipes throughout the entire project
If you don't have a destination on Highway 114, please continue to use the thru-traffic detour on I-94, Highway 29 and Highway 55.
Local traffic should always slow down—please remember you are in an active work zone, even in areas where workers aren't present. The culvert sites throughout the entire project area are currently loose gravel, so please drive slowly while approaching each one.
Please stay alert for heavy equipment and trucks hauling throughout the entire corridor.
Thank you for staying committed to safety for all!

We have two years of projects scheduled on Highway 114. This year's project includes culvert replacements between Highway 55 and I-94, and roundabout construction at the intersection of Highway 27 and Highway 114. Next year, we'll come back to resurface the entire roadway.
Check the project website for project information, construction updates, and MnDOT contacts. We're here to help!
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change. MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, slow down in work zones where workers are present, and never enter an area that's blocked by barriers or cones.
