US 63 and US 10 Lane Closures

Residents on both sides of the Mississippi River using Highway 63 are going to have to start allowing for more travel time for the next several weeks as a $7.1 million construction project is underway.

Now through to late September, crews are removing existing pavement and placing new asphalt; adding rumble strips; adjusting guardrail; completing culvert maintenance; and installing permanent pavement markings, from the Minnesota state line to US 10 west of Ellsworth.

US 63 is open to traffic, but motorists will encounter single-lane closures controlled by flagging where milling and paving are occurring.

Another project, the Highway 10 closure to through traffic East of the County E intersection south of River Falls, is expected to wrap up in late August.

That project involves reconstructing approximately 1,000 feet of US 10 east of the County E intersection to lower the state highway's vertical curve by about five feet to increase motorists’ sight distance; replacing culvert pipe and placing new pavement markings.
