PINE ISLAND, MINNESOTA
Douglas Trail crossing
@ 125th Street NW will be closing July 31, 2017.
Road construction for the new alignment of
CSAH 5, past the Pine Island elementary school has been underway since the end
of June. With this project, the at grade
Douglas Trail crossing will be removed and a new tunnel trail crossing will be
constructed. The trail is planned to be completed this construction season as a
gravel trail. The trail will be surfaced
next year, along with the new roadway. We are asking all bicyclists and pedestrians
to avoid this closed section of trail that is being reconstructed, as safety is
of the upmost importance.
The CSAH 5 project is expected to be complete in the fall of 2018.
Midwest Contracting is the prime contractor on the $6.7 million project.
Motorists are reminded to always drive with caution, slow down in work
zones, and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
