The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has announced it will begin work April 13 on a two-year reconstruction project of Highway 5 over the Mississippi River between the city of St. Paul and Fort Snelling, located just north and east of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
The first year of construction will take place April through Sept. 2015. During that time, the Highway 5 bridge will be reduced to one lane in both directions.
Employees headed to the airport from St. Paul who need to cross that bridge can expect delays.
For more information about the project, suggested detour routes, and to sign up for email updates, visit MnDOT's project Web site at http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/hwy5/.
