Crews begin work on Hwy 282 projects in Jordan

ROSEVILLE, Minn. — Crews will begin work on Hwy 282 projects on July 8 that will result in narrow lanes and two separate road closures, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

At 7 a.m. Monday, July 8, crews begin replacing a retaining wall with an earthen slope along Hwy 282 in downtown Jordan.

Crews working on the project, between Hwy 21 and East Street, require a temporary narrowing of Hwy 282 lanes. Workers plan to continue the project from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday, until July 30.

They will need to completely close Hwy 282 between Hwy 21 and East Street for one weekend while completing drainage work, from 10 p.m. Friday, July 12 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 15, weather permitting. This will result in a posted detour for traffic, including Hwy 13, County Road 8 and Hwy 21.

Crews will again close Hwy 282 for another drainage project, just west of Naylor Avenue in Sand Creek Township, in early August for two weeks. This will also result in a posted detour.

All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change.

If you have any questions about the project, please contact Mark Olson at 651-335-2435 or mark.olson@state.mn.us.
