Local traffic impacts into next week: Restrictions and impassable areas between the Holmes City County Road 4 and County Road 4 east.
Work started at Pipe 7, at the intersection of Highway 114 and County Road 4, on Tuesday. They are hoping to wrap up at this location by end of day Friday, weather permitting. A reminder that the Highway 114 and County Road 4 intersection is CLOSED to all traffic during the Pipe 7 replacement. You cannot cross Highway 114 at this location, or enter/exit from County Road 4. We know it can be frustrating when you have to temporarily find an alternate route, but hard closures like this are put in place for your safety and the safety of the crews. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Crews may also start some prep work on Friday, too, at the Pipe 8 site, just north of County Road 4. Residents and local traffic may encounter a dip or bump in the road and loose gravel, as well as a lane closure for staged equipment.
Then on Monday, weather permitting, they'll get started on Pipe 8. There will be a hard closure for several days at this site and you will have to use an alternate route to access north/south of the culvert site. If coming from County Road 4 east, you will not be able to go north on Highway 114. Consider entering from the north from Highway 27, or find another way around.
All thru-traffic should stick to the detour route 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. Some of 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.
All thru-traffic should stick to the detour route on I-94, Highway 29 and Highway 55.
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.
