According to Anoka County's latest advisory, a major concrete pour for the Coon Rapids Blvd pedestrian bridge is set to disrupt the southbound flow tomorrow. The operation will necessitate the closure of two southbound traffic lanes plus the shoulder on Coon Rapids Boulevard starting at 9:30 am. This concrete-centric activity will kick off at 11:00 am and is expected to wrap up around 4:00 pm, given all goes according to plan.
The county officials urge motorists to plan and take alternate routes to avoid getting ensnared in the forthcoming asphalt ballet. They estimate that the lanes will, under normal circumstances, reopen in time to rush home to dinner—or whatever your evening ritual beckons.
For those hoping to fully avoid the area, detour signs will be prominently displayed to ease navigation around the construction site. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and exercise caution, especially as work crews will be actively present throughout the day.
