CONSTRUCTION Highway 61 Lane Closures (Between 5th & 10th Street)

Beginning on July 8th, Highway 61 will be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction between 5th Street and 10th Street to accommodate work in the median for turn lane modifications at 7th Street and 8th Street for a new traffic signal  at 8th Street and Highway 61. The lane closure and work is anticipated to last approximately one month. Expect delays and plan alternate routes when possible.

The work being done is to accommodate additional traffic with the reunification of White Bear Lake Area High School and to improve pedestrian safety in the area. We thank you for your patience during this project.
