Drivers should plan for Wright County Highway 19, also known as LaBeaux Avenue, to be fully closed under the Interstate 94 bridge in Albertville. Work is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 19 and Tuesday, Oct. 20 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly. These closures are necessary to set beams at the I-94 bridge over County 19.
Here are the detours for these road closures:
- Northbound detour: Co. Rd. 19 to Co. Rd. 37 to MacIver Ave. to Co. Rd. 38 to Co. Rd. 19
- Southbound detour: Co. Rd. 19 to Co. Rd. 38 to MacIver Ave. to Co. Rd. 37 to Co. Rd. 19
North of I-94, County Road 19 is open to the Albertville Premium Outlets and southbound County Road 19 is open to the westbound I-94 ramp. South of I-94 the eastbound I-94 ramp to southbound County Road 19 is open.
Please plan ahead and give yourself additional time or seek an alternate route.

More about this project
We are making improvements to a 39-mile stretch of I-94 between Maple Grove and Clearwater that includes more travel lanes, bridge replacements, new bridges, improved drainage and the resurfacing of deteriorating pavement. Additionally, a new interchange is being constructed on I-94 near the city of Dayton. The improvements will reduce congestion, improve safety, improve freight movement, enhance economic vitality and provide a smoother ride for users of I-94. The project began in 2019 and is expected to be complete by 2021.
