111 DEPARTMENT OF <br />\ ii TRANSPORTATION <br />News Release <br />April 29, 2022 <br />Contact: Kent Barnard <br />Office/Cell: 651-253-2803 <br />Kent.barnard@state.mn.us <br />Highway 10 weekend closure in Anoka postponed again due to threat of <br />inclement weather <br />Weekend full closure rescheduled for May 6-9 <br />ROSEVILLE, Minn. — For the second weekend in a row, MnDOT has cancelled a full closure of Highway 10 <br />between Highway 47/Ferry Street and 7th Avenue in Anoka. <br />If weather is more favorable next weekend, MnDOT will close both directions of Highway 10 between <br />Highway 47/Ferry Street and 7th Avenue from 10 p.m. on Fri., May 6, until 5 a.m. on Mon., May 9, so <br />construction crews can remove and replace water mains, sanitary sewer and storm sewer utilities beneath <br />the highway near 4th Avenue. <br />Drivers will be detoured on Highway 610, Interstate 94 and Highway 101. Nearby residents may experience <br />some noise, lights and vibration as crews work 24-hours a day. <br />All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather permitting and subject to change. <br />When possible, motorists should consider a different highway route that doesn't go through Anoka and <br />help keep the community safe by using posted detour routes and avoid cutting through neighborhoods. <br />Motorists should also consider using Metro Transit buses, Northstar commuter rail, carpooling, Park & Ride <br />lots or telecommuting. <br />MnDOT and the city of Anoka are working together to repair aging roads and bridges and build new <br />interchanges on the highway between Thurston Avenue and 7th Avenue in Anoka. The rebuilt road will <br />improve traffic flow, decrease congestion and increase safety along and across Highway 10. <br />Construction is expected to be complete by the spring of 2024. <br />Real time traffic information is available at 511mn.org or download the Minnesota 511 app on <br />your Apple or Android device. <br />For more information, including upcoming traffic impacts, and to sign up for email updates, visit the <br />Highway 10 Anoka webraage.
