HIGHWAY 4 DETOUR SOUTH OF SLEEPY EYE STARTS MAY 27

MnDOT says Highway 4 from Sleepy Eye to Brown County Road 24 will close starting Tuesday, May 27 for about three weeks  to finish remaining work on the Highway 4 from St. James to Sleepy Eye project which started last year.  Finishing work will include pavement, grading, striping, signing and approach panel work near the Cottonwood Bridge.  The project included resurfacing approximately 25 miles of roadway and replacing three bridges.  These improvements have allowed Highway 4 between St. James and Sleepy Eye to be designated a ten-ton route.  Weather permitting, the work is expected to be complete by mid-June.  Starting May 27, traffic will be detoured to Highway 14 and Brown County Roads 8 and 24.
