Construction on the roundabout at the intersection of Hwy 37 and St. Louis County Road 7 is currently underway.
Hwy 37 eastbound and westbound through traffic is traveling on a bypass. Access between Hwy 37 and County Road 7 from both the north and the south will be closed as of July 6. Traffic will be directed to the posted detour. Motorists should expect a 35 MPH speed limit and 12’ driving lanes on Hwy 37.
