Detour for Hwy 19 Winthrop bridge replacement project begins Aug. 5
MANKATO, Minn. – The detour for the Highway 19 box culvert replacement project near Winthrop is expected to begin on Monday, August 5, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Motorists will be detoured to Highway 15 and Sibley County Roads 10 and 4 until the completion of the project in late September (see attached map).
All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and subject to change. MnDOT urges motorists to be attentive and drive with caution in work zones where workers are present.
The project includes replacing the box culvert under Highway 19 to improve drainage and enhance safety. Originally planned for 2022, the replacement of the box culvert in Winthrop was postponed until this year due to unanticipated soil conditions.
Landwehr Construction Inc. was awarded the project with a bid of $2,015,525.00.
