The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) encourages all motorists traveling during the 2022 Memorial Day holiday weekend to slow down and focus on safety when driving through work zones.
The changing road conditions in work zones require every driver’s undistracted attention. MnDOT urges motorists to be attentive, slow down in work zones, drive with caution and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
MnDOT advises motorists to check 511mn.org and plan their routes before they go. In addition, motorists should expect quickly changing road conditions, slower traffic, narrow lanes, lane shifts, detours, and delays as they travel through work zones throughout the state.

Motorists also can stay informed about projects and other transportation topics by connecting to MnDOT via social media and signing up for email updates for major projects at www.mndot.gov/emailupdates.
