ST. CLOUD - Motorists will encounter delays when the ramp from westbound Highway 10 to County Road 29 in Sauk Rapids is closed at 9 a.m. today.
The ramp will reopen by May 8.
A signed detour will direct motorists along westbound Highway 10, to the Highway 10/County Road 33 interchange, to eastbound Highway 10, and back to County Road 29.
The closure is needed while crews resurface the ramp as part of the Highway 10 reconstruction in Sauk Rapids and St. Cloud.
Motorists planning to travel on Highway 10 in Sauk Rapids and St. Cloud should plan additional time for travel and seek alternate routes during peak travel periods. Below is a list of the project's current planned traffic changes:
