MNDOT EXPANDS NORTHWEST MINNESOTA ROAD CLOSURES INCLUDING HWY 75 IN CLIMAX

The Minnesota Department of Transportation has expanded the road closure on Highway 75. The road is now closed both north and south of Halstad. The Highway will remain closed until further notice and traffic should seek alternate routes.

 Highways that remain closed:

  • Highway 75 north of Climax at milepost 303 (pictured above)
  • Highway 1 between County Road 17 and border with North Dakota
  • Business Highway 2 Sorlie Bridge in East Grand Forks
  • Highway 75 south of Halstad
  • Highway 75 north of Halstad at milepost 285
  • Highway 220 north of Oslo, between Highway 1 and Highway 11
  • Highway 317 between Highway 220 and North Dakota border

Highways that remain open, but currently have water over the road:

  • Highway 220 south of Oslo at milepost 42

Highways that previously had water over the road, but the water level has receded:

  • Highway 9 south of Ada, south of the Wild Rice River bridge
  • Highway 92 north of Zerkel, near mile post 71
  • Highway 200 west of Ada, near mile post 16

MnDOT cautions motorists to be alert for the potential of road flooding throughout west central Minnesota as additional precipitation and heavy snow pack continue to melt and water levels rise. Highways could be closed at times if water poses a safety hazard to motorists. Areas that have water on the road or are closed because of flooding are marked on MnDOT’s road conditions mapwww.511mn.org.

When a road is closed it is illegal to travel in that area. Motorists can be fined up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. In addition, if travelers need to be rescued from a closed road, other expenses and penalties will apply.
