Cypress Drive to open between Hastings Road, Highway 210

Beginning at 6 a.m. Friday, Aug. 2, Cypress Drive will open to through traffic between Hastings Road and Highway 210.

Temporary traffic control and detour signs will be removed throughout the evening and into the night Thursday, Aug. 1.

With this segment opening to through traffic, Cypress Drive will now be accessible from all side streets, as well as north and south along the entire project corridor.

Short Elliott Hendrickson asked motorists to be aware there may be minor lane closures periodically as the prime contractor Landwehr Construction Inc. is still working on final punch list items.

Motorists are asked to monitor the construction signage and drive with caution in the work zone area.

Contact SEH consulting engineer Scott Hedlund at 218-855-1705 or SEH construction observer Mark Johannes at 320-250-3017, for questions or concerns. The 24-hour emergency contact for the construction prime contractor is Clint Christians, Landwehr Construction Inc., superintendent, 320-248-0889.
