Construction Project Set to Close Bridge on Hermantown Road

Bridge Near Five Corners Road Closes Wednesday, May 8

Hermantown, Minn. – A bridge closure will have a significant impact on traffic using Hermantown Road beginning next week, as the structure is set to be replaced as part of a several-month construction project.

The bridge, which is located east of Midway Road and near the intersection of Five Corners Road and Hermantown Road, will be closed beginning Wednesday, May 8, at 6:00 a.m.

The bridge will remain closed through the summer months as it is replaced. Hermantown Road will remain open to local traffic through the construction project, as will the portion of Old Midway Road that is also being reconstructed, but the bridge will not be passable beginning next week.

Non-local traffic traveling east/west on Hermantown Road will need to utilize other roads in the area, such as Maple Grove Road or Morris Thomas Road.
