Heads up, Ramsey residents and nightly commuters—you're going to need to map out a detour for early this week if your travels take you along Highway 10. According to a recent social media post from the City of Ramsey, some notable closures are taking place on September 8 and 9, conditions in the sky permitting. The city alert, mindful of the impact, indicates that on Monday night, September 8, from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., eastbound traffic on Highway 10 will face a full closure between Armstrong Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard, and the westbound lanes are to be reduced to a single lane of traffic.
The pattern of disruption continues today, as westbound Highway 10 will experience a full stop from 10 p.m. until the next predawn at 5:00 a.m., with eastbound flows constricted down to one lane. This dance of closures and constrictions is a clear sign that repairs, or perhaps improvements, are underway. The full details of which can be uncovered at Anoka County's project page. Drivers during both nights are being redirected to make their way through to Bunker Lake Boulevard, which they can catch via Armstrong Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard, stringing together probably the least disruptive path around the closures.
For those seeking further enlightenment on the roadway's temporary reconfiguration, a beacon of information awaits at the City of Ramsey's official Facebook post. The post detailing said closures outlines that Eastbound Hwy. 10 is to be facing a FULL closure between Armstrong Boulevard & Sunfish Lake Boulevard on the given Monday night, but those heading west will have lanes cut down yet not entirely sliced off.
The City of Ramsey forewarns that Westbound Hwy. 10 will be grasped by a FULL closure between the same boulevards and the lone eastbound lane will function as a slim lifeline for nocturnal commuters, it's during this time that the alternate routes—notably Bunker Lake Boulevard via Armstrong Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard—will again serve as the vital conduits ensuring that life's essential rhythm maintains it's beat amidst the necessary disruptions. The City's social media post serves as both a warning and a guide, a tool to ensure that despite the inconvenience, no one misses their turn and finds themselves lost in a night full of detours.
