UPDATE: Cool temperatures push work on eastbound Hwy 10 to daylight hours
ST. CLOUD, Minn.— Nighttime roadwork originally planned on eastbound Hwy 10 from Clear Lake to Big Lake, Sherburne County, has been rescheduled to take place during daylight hours due to cooler evening temperatures, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
MnDOT is applying a micro-surfacing treatment to renew the pavement surface and seal minor cracks, ruts and other irregularities. This process requires air temperatures to remain above 50 degrees.
Work will occur during off-peak daylight hours on eastbound Hwy 10 between Hwy 24 in Clear Lake and Lakeshore Drive in Big Lake, weather permitting. Motorists should be prepared to encounter single-lane closures, lane shifts and delays. The resurfacing will be completed in segments, so expect the work area location to change and move.
Work is expected to continue through Sunday, Sept. 7, but may extend into the week of Sept. 8, depending on weather and progress.
After the initial resurfacing is complete, there will be a two-week pause to allow the new pavement to cure. Crews will return in late September to apply permanent striping and final pavement markings.
When complete, motorists will notice a smoother ride along this stretch of Hwy 10.
