Brief overnight I-90 traffic delays in Austin planned Feb. 3 for bridge beam placement

AUSTIN, Minn. – Motorists on Interstate 90 in Austin will be briefly delayed Feb. 3 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., while construction crews place bridge beams on the westbound bridge over the Cedar River, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The delays are expected to be approximately 15 minutes in duration each time a beam is placed. A transport truck will move into place on I-90 with State Patrol slowing and stopping traffic in each direction. A crane will pick the beam and place it on the center span. Traffic will resume once a beam has been unloaded from the truck, and it moves on. There are nine beams that will be placed.
