Motorists on Highway 29 south of Interstate 94 in Alexandria will encounter lane shifts when a four-lane expansion, bridge replacement and interchange reconstruction project begins Monday, July 6, weather permitting.
Work will be completed over two construction seasons.
Key components of the 2015 work include:
· Four-lane expansion of Highway 29 south of I-94 to County Road 28 · Realignment of County Road 28 to match up with County Road 87 · Construction a roundabout at Highway 29 and County Road 28/87
In 2016, work will concentrate on the interchange of I-94 and Highway 29. Throughout the project, Highway 29 will remain open to traffic in both directions.
