Road work back on Cromwell

Contractors resumed construction on Minnesota highways 210 and 73 in Cromwell on Monday, the Minnesota Department of Transportation reported. Remaining work on the $3.7 million project includes sidewalk and entrance installation, culvert and storm sewer lining, striping, and final signage.

Motorists can expect daytime lane closures and intermittent flagging operations. All work is expected to be complete before July 1.

The project to reconstruct the existing highway was designed to improve the ride for travelers and increase stormwater collection and better guide runoff. New sidewalks and lighting, and accessibility improvements, are also part of the work. Ten-foot parking lanes have been maintained on Highway 210 from Highway 73 to Burnett Road.
