Mankato residents should prepare to adjust their commuting routes come Monday morning. According to a social media announcement by the City of Mankato, a section of north River Drive and west Lind Court intersection will be closed off to facilitate sanitary utility repair works. This closure is set to begin at 8 a.m. on December 9, signaling some disruptions in local traffic patterns.

The intersection is expected to be renovated and fully reopened by the month's end, weather permitting.

The city has provided a link to view the closure and detour plans for those seeking to navigate around the construction zone. Affected residents and commuters should plan to take alternative routes and possibly allow extra travel time to reach their destinations during this period.
