Temporary Lane Reduction Thursday Morning on Westbound Highway 36 Near Roseville

It's an especially slow go now for motorists on Highway 36 near Roseville as Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) construction crews continue major work on the roadway. 

From now (Wednesday) until 5:30 a.m. Thursday (Aug. 1) westbound Highway 36 between Highway 61 and Edgerton Avenue in Maplewood is being reduced down to a single lane as crews set beams for the new Keller Lake bridge. 

After that time, all westbound lanes are scheduled to reopen, according to MnDOT officials.  

Last month, construction work began on a diamond interchange at Highway 36 and English Street in neighboring Maplewood. It's part of a $17.3 million project that is expected to be completed by the end of August. 

More information about the Highway 36 project is available at www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/hwy36maplewood/.
