Authorities are telling motorists to anticipate a prolonged closure.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is advising drivers to anticipate delays and to seek alternative routes if possible.

The Rochester City Council will be presented with the updated design and project schedule on Monday.

MnDOT is planning ramp and lane closures to accommodate maintenance work for two of Rochester's major highways.

A significant portion of the highway between Rochester and Chatfield still remains closed and a detour is in place.

Traffic will be detoured during the work.

Both MNDOT and WISDOT say this bridge is at the most risk of service interruption, even though 33,000 vehicles cross it each day.

Take a quick trip down these incredibly short highways.

Officials made the decision to reduce the speed limit after an analysis from traffic engineers.

MnDOT says the multi-season project has an estimated $38.4 million price tag
