Highway 29 near Glenwood opens to traffic

Motorists can now travel on Highway 29 between Alexandria and Glenwood as the detour has been removed.

Motorists will still experience occasional lane closures and delays while crews complete shoulder work, striping projects and guard rail installations.

All work is scheduled to be completed by mid-September, weather permitting. The project will enhance safety and improve mobility on the Highway 29 corridor.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation urges motorists to always drive with caution, slow down in work zones and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones. For statewide travel information, visit www.511mn.org , call 5-1-1 or log on to www.mndot.gov.
