Highway 68 Opens To Traffic

The Minnesota Department of Transportation issued notice on the following highway conditions Wednesday afternoon:

Highway 68 from Highway 15 to just west of Blue Earth County Road 24 south of Courtland reopened Thursday after being closed due to a mudslide on June 29.  MnDOT says a second mudslide in the area was creeping closer to the road, and the slide that closed Highway 68  initially had seen additional activity.  Motorists are asked to use Highway 14 or find an alternate route.
