On Monday, crews will be closing the median traffic lane (the inside/third lane of traffic) in both west and east directions to begin project work.
During the project, motorists can expect to see the following on 52nd Ave. S.
· Two lanes of traffic open in both directions. · Speeds reduced from 45 mph to 35 mph.
Project work is expected to last three weeks, weather permitting.
Also starting Monday crews will be working through the week on project follow up on Interstate 29/Interstate 94 tri-level ramp. Motorists should expect the shoulder to be closed, leaving two lanes of traffic open where possible, on the tri-level ramp. With crews working close to traffic, speeds will be reduced while work occurs.
Rear end crashes are the most common in work zones. Motorists are encouraged to slow down, allow extra distance between their vehicles and the vehicle in front of them, use caution and obey flaggers and posted signs.
