Motorists traveling on Interstate 90 westbound will encounter an off-ramp detour at Highway 109 beginning Monday near Alden (Exit 146), according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

I-90 westbound motorists wanting to access Highway 109 should take the Highway 13 exit (Exit 154), go south on Highway 13, west on County Road 46 (210th Street) and north on Highway 109 (South Broadway Avenue). The closure is scheduled to begin July 29 and the ramp is expected to reopen in late-September.

This detour is part of the I-90 project between Alden and Albert Lea that includes resurfacing westbound lanes and installing new guardrail on eastbound and westbound lanes. To learn more about this project, go to MnDOT’s website where you can also sign up to receive email and text message updates.
