ST. CLOUD, Minn. – Motorists who travel Highway 71 through Elrosa will encounter delays and detours after the road closes for construction beginning Monday, April 24.
Motorists and residents should plan for the following:
Highway 71 between Industrial Avenue and Main Street in Elrosa will close April 24, and reopen by Aug. 4.
A signed truck detour will direct commercial vehicles along Interstate 94, Highway 4 and Highway 55. Get truck detour map.
A signed passenger vehicle detour will direct cars and light trucks along County Road 191, County Road 13, County Road 175 and County Road 14. Get car/light truck detour map.
Driveways and intersecting roads within the Highway 71 work zone will close as needed throughout the project. Residents with questions may contact Tim Paul, project supervisor, at 320-293-9417.
The closures and work are part of a project to reconstruct Highway 71 through Elrosa. The project will reconstruct the roadbed, resurface the roadway, improve sidewalks, driveway entrances, and install new curb and gutter and underground utilities. When complete, the project will result in a smoother ride, and improve drainage and accessibility.
