Detour for Highway 22 resurfacing project between St. Peter and Highway 111 begins July 14
Motorists traveling on Highway 22 between St. Peter and Highway 111 can expect a detour beginning Monday, July 14, weather permitting, as crews begin construction, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Traffic will be detoured to Highway 111 and Nicollet County Road 15 during construction (map attached).
Construction is expected to continue until the completion of the project in mid-October. All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change.
