Work along Interstate 90 near Worthington to begin on Monday

Lane closures on Interstate 90 near Worthington will begin Monday as crews start preparing for bridge replacements along I-90 in 2027-28, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Crews will build crossovers and resurface eastbound I-90 from Diagonal Road to Minnesota 60 to allow for head-to-head traffic during the future bridge work. The project also includes installing a Weigh-in-Motion System near Worthington.

I-90 will remain open to traffic throughout construction. Motorists should expect single-lane traffic on eastbound I-90 between Diagonal Road to Minnesota 60. Westbound I-90 will also see intermittent lane closures during construction. Drivers should also expect reduced speeds through the work zones.

Beginning around early August, ramps at interchanges between Diagonal Road and Minnesota 60 will close for work near the ramps at various times. Only one ramp will close at a time. Drivers, and those traveling during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, should check www.511mn.org for detour information during the ramp closures.

Work is expected to be completed in early September. Knife River Corporation – North Central was awarded the project with a bid of $4,887,480.97.
