The replacement of traffic signs which are at the end of their service lives will begin on April 23 along Interstate 90 in Rock, Nobles and Martin counties, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
MnDOT replaces traffic signs on a 15-year cycle to ensure signs are legible for motorists during the day and at night. Over time, traffic signs experience wear and tear, and frequently lose reflectivity in low-light conditions long before indications of their age are obvious in normal conditions.
There will be little impact to traffic. However, MnDOT reminds motorists to drive with caution and watch for crews working near the roadway. The project is expected to be completed by early June, weather permitting.
H & R Construction Company was awarded the project with a bid of $271,028.
