Due to a schedule update from the contractor, construction will begin Friday, July 17, on Highway 114. Crews will start with milling the roadway on Friday, with paving starting Monday, July 20, weather permitting. They'll begin on the north end near I-94, working south. Motorists should be prepared to encounter grooved and/or uneven surfaces over the weekend. Please travel with care and caution.
During construction, Highway 114 will remain open, but traffic will be controlled by flaggers and pilot cars. Motorists should expect daily delays and be prepared to stop until mid-August while milling, paving and striping are underway. After that, drivers can still expect short delays and shoulder closures where crews are working.
As always, we ask motorists to slow down in the work zone, obey traffic control, and be on the lookout for workers, signs and equipment.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-September. All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent.
 Highway 114 work zone
Previous work:
Last year, the Minnesota Department of Transportation constructed a roundabout at the intersection of Highway 114 and Highway 27, and replaced culverts between Highway 55 near Lowry to Interstate 94.
Other traffic safety reminders:
- This is an active work zone, even in areas where workers aren't present. Please slow down, and travel with extreme caution and care.
- Always obey flaggers and follow pilot car
- Be alert for changing conditions, such as uneven, rough and/or gravel surfaces
- Watch for workers, trucks hauling, and slow-moving heavy equipment
