Construction started this week on Highway 28 from Morris to Starbuck. The highway is closed to thru-traffic until October. If you don't have a destination along the roadway, please follow the signed detour route. For access to Cyrus, follow the detour and from County Road 18 use County Road 3 to enter from the south.
Local traffic update: Entrance into Cyrus
Originally, the first phase of road work in Cyrus was to fall between Dahl Street and Stromen Street. As the removals got started, the closure had to be extended farther east toward the bridge on the east end of Cyrus for the utility replacements. Going forward, during this first phase, if you live east of Cyrus, you will need to find an alternate route if you're trying to get to town. You cannot enter Cyrus from the east. We apologize for the confusion and added inconvenience.
The best way to access Cyrus is to follow the detour and use County Road 3 to enter/exit from the south.
Please continue to support your local businesses! During the in-town work, if you're trying to access a business within the work area, check in with them on the best way to get there. You may have to park on a side street and walk up, or use a back door. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding while this work is underway.
 Next week: Impassable area west of Cyrus
There are three centerline culvert replacements on Highway 28, and the first one will start on Monday, May 18, weather permitting. The first culvert is located between County Road 3/430th Avenue and County Road 1/Lake Avenue. The road will be impassable for everyone in this area next week. Each centerline pipe will take about 3-7 days to replace, so if you live on the roadway, you will have to find a short-term alternate route around this site.
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent.
Upcoming schedule
- Continue culvert work, including culvert aprons and liners
- Continue underground utilities replacements in Cyrus in Phase 1
