Drivers will see lane closures on northbound and southbound Highway 52 near Pine Island beginning Monday, May 6, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The closures, originally scheduled to begin May 2, were delayed due to the weather.

The closures are necessary while crews prepare for rock blasting to construct the new East Frontage Road adjacent to Highway 52 in the area between 520th Street and 210th Avenue. During the actual blasting, traffic will be temporarily stopped on northbound and southbound Highway 52. The lane closures will be in effect through Friday, May 10, weather permitting.
