Hwy 30 detour begins April 17 for bridge replacements at Chatfield and Cummingsville
The bridge at Mill Creek in Chatfield will be replaced, and the bridge at North Branch Root River, west of Olmsted Co Rd 7, in Cummingsville will be replaced. Hwy 30 is a primary route between Chatfield and Stewartville.
The below detour will be in effect during construction.
- Motorists traveling east to Chatfield should take Olmsted Co Rd 1 south to Olmsted Co Rd 2 east to Hwy 52. Hwy 30 traffic traveling west from Chatfield will use the same detour in reverse.
- Residents on the west of side of Mill Creek will be able to access Chatfield via Division Street NW.
If people have questions about accessing a property, they can call Terry Kraling, Icon Constructors, at 507-259-1331. Icon Constructors is the prime contractor for the $6.4 million project.
People can learn more about this project and sign up for email and text message updates on the project website.
