Heading out of Rochester on Sunday? Watch out for these ramp closures

Heading out of Rochester on Sunday? Watch out for these ramp closures

The Highway 52 ramps off Civic Center Drive will be closed for a good portion of Sunday while chip seal work is being done on the adjacent bridge decks.

 

Work will begin Sunday morning and continue through the day, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Both the HWY 52 northbound ramp from Civic Center Drive and the southbound HWY 52 off-ramp to Civic Center Drive will be closed during that time.

The ramp closures are in addition to a brief closure approximately two hours Saturday morning of the HWY 52 north ramp from Civic Center Drive. MnDOT says crews will be installing LED light fixtures.

MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, slow down in work zones and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones. For real-time traffic and travel information in Minnesota, visit www.511mn.org.
