Delays Expected With Start of SE Rochester Road Project

Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - Motorists are being advised that a road project that is scheduled to begin on Monday will create traffic disruptions on a major north-south route in southwest Rochester.

The Olmsted County Public Works Department says concrete rehabilitation work will be taking place on County Road 1 (11th Avenue SE) between Highway 14 and Highway 52. Besides the concrete rehabilitation work, the project will also include bituminous shoulder mill and overlay, and restriping on the four-lane roadway.

Officials say the section of 11th Avenue SE will remain open during the project but traffic will be reduced to a single lane in each direction at various locations. The project is scheduled to be completed in early June if the weather cooperates.
