Local drivers and commuters should prepare for some changes on the road as construction crews plan to work on the traffic signal at Highway 252 and 81st/Humboldt. This activity is set to take place on June 12 and 13, with a brief return approximately one week later for completion after the concrete setting period. According to an announcement provided by the City of Brooklyn Park, there will be certain limitations impacting the flow of traffic.
As of now, turning restrictions will be placed during the construction, allowing motorists to only turn right onto or off the highway. Traveling straight across Highway 252 at the specified junction will not be possible, complicating some of the usual direct paths. However, pedestrians need not worry; they have been afforded the ability to continue crossing the highway by pressing the crossing button. These details were outlined in an update issued by city officials ahead of the scheduled work.
Furthermore, those driving on Highway 252 during this time should anticipate potential brief stoppages of traffic. Crews may need to pause vehicles on the highway to allow turns from 81st or Humboldt, executing the need for a safe opportunity. "Traffic will continue on Highway 252, but crews may briefly stop traffic if drivers at 81st or Humboldt have trouble finding a safe time to turn," city representatives informed.
Residents and visitors to the area are thanked for their patience as these necessary improvements are undertaken. City officials pledge to minimize inconvenience but ask the public to remain flexible during the temporary transit adjustments.
