REGIONAL- Travelers between Tower and Embarrass will want to plan for extra time due to a detour now in place along Hwy. 135.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has closed a portion of the state highway south of Tower for a culvert replacement.
The closed portion of the road is from the intersection with Wahlsten Rd. south approximately five and half miles to County Rd. 21. The culvert is located 1.3 miles south of Wahlsten Road.
The project is projected to cost $500,000 to complete.
Traffic is currently being detoured on Wahlsten Road to County Rd. 21. Work is expected to last through Sept. 29.
