Temporary lane closure on Highway 68 near Redwood County Road 1

WILLMAR, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation has temporarily closed the eastbound lane of Highway 68 between Ocean Avenue and Redwood County Road 1 due to a soft shoulder. A portable stoplight signal will direct traffic through the lane closure.

The eastbound lane will remain closed at least through the weekend and until crews can make repairs. MnDOT asks everyone to use extreme caution and slow down when traveling through the area.
