Kent, MN – MnDOT says that starting Monday, June 8, weather permitting, Highway 75 near Kent will close between County Road 1 and County Road 22 until the end of July for bridge repairs. Thru-traffic will be detoured to County Road 1 and County Road 22, through McCauleyville and Kent.

This year’s project on Highway 75 includes bridge repairs to replace the bridge approach panels, upgrade drainage and restore ditch in-slopes. The roadway will be impassable at the bridge sites over the railroad and Whiskey Creek. Local traffic should plan for an alternate route.

Redstone Construction, LLC., based in Mora, MN, is the prime contractor for the $730,000 project.

MnDOT urges drivers to always be attentive, drive with caution and slow down in work zones where workers are present.
