Motorists will encounter temporary one-lane closures at the Highway 67 bridge two miles east of the Highway 75 junction in Yellow Medicine County beginning Sept. 19.

The project is being done to repair the concrete deck.

Traffic will be directed over the bridge using signs indicating that motorists should stop and take turns on alternate lanes.

During construction and road maintenance work, MnDOT urges drivers to:

• Stay alert, expect the unexpected. Be patient.

• Never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.

• Plan ahead and expect delays, especially during peak travel times.

• Don’t use cell phones while driving.

• Remember text messaging while driving is illegal.

• Follow posted speed limits; fines double in work zones.
