DULUTH, Minn. – Motorists traveling along Hwy 1 at the Stony Bridge construction project, west of Isabella, should expect delays during the morning hours of Thursday, June 25.
The project will require delays due to bridge beam delivery and erection. During this, both directions may be closed for up to 15 minutes at a time to allow for unloading of the beams from their transport vehicles. Please allow for extra travel time.
Road work continues to be a critical service. MnDOT is committed to protecting the health, safety and well-being of its employees, contractors and all Minnesotans. Crews continue to follow the guidance of state and federal health officials to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
