As of 11 a.m. yesterday, CSAH 83 has been closed off where it intersects with Hwy. 25, affecting access near the Wright County government campus. This move comes in preparation for upcoming roundabout construction, aimed to streamline traffic and bolster safety in the area. Commuters should brace themselves for further road closures, as announced in a Wright County government update.

The closures mark just the beginning of a larger project, with MnDOT planning to completely shut down Hwy. 25 on August 15, as per Wright County.

In a bid to efficiently manage the heavy flow of vehicles typically traversing this route, detours will be put in place – drivers should expect to reroute via Hwy. 55 to the south and CSAH 37 to the north. The exact details of the MnDOT road work, set to start concurrently with the closure, are anticipated to be clarified later today in a forthcoming update.
