Hwy 10 closes to all traffic in St. Cloud Aug. 26–28

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will close both directions of Highway 10 at Highway 23 between 15th Avenue/Seventh Street SE in St. Cloud and Benton Drive in Sauk Rapids from 7 a.m. Monday, Aug. 26 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28.
The 52-hour closure in necessary to remove the old eastbound Highway 23 bridge that spans Highway 10. Detour routes are as follows:

Eastbound Highway 10 will detour along Highway 15, Highway 23 (Division Street), Lincoln Avenue and 15th Avenue SE back to eastbound Highway 10.
Westbound Highway 10 will detour along 15th Avenue SE, Lincoln Avenue, Highway 23, Benton County Road 1 (Mayhew Lake Road) and Golden Spike Road back to westbound Highway 10.

Motorists will encounter stop-and-go traffic along these detour routes through St. Cloud, especially at peak travel times. Plan accordingly and seek alternate routes.
Through travelers can use Highway 15, Interstate 94 and Highway 24 as an alternate Highway 10 route.
Highway 23 will remain open to head-to-head traffic on the new bridge over Highway 10.

When complete in November 2024, the interchange project will invest in infrastructure to last 60-plus years, provide a smoother road surface, and improve motorist and pedestrian safety and access throughout.
