Red Wing Overnight Lane Closures

Motorists traveling on state highways in Red Wing should be alert for overnight lane closures Monday evening, May 18 as MnDOT bridge maintenance crews clean bridges, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Work will begin at 8 pm, Monday, May 18. During that work, crews use fresh water in high pressure pumps to spray down the gutter lines and joints of the bridges.

Sand, debris and other material that accumulated during winter are swept up in advance by MnDOT Maintenance crews to prepare for the flushing.

Motorists might have brief traffic delays with lane closures during the overnight hours.

MnDOT’s three bridge maintenance crews in southeast Minnesota flush more than 400 bridges during this spring maintenance effort.
