Huge St. Michael Road Project Set to Close County 35 Next Week

After a "slight" delay due to Winter's sudden appearance - the road will close today

March 19, 2024 By Mike Schoemer

Road construction season is going to kick off soon, and this season is going to be a doozy.

Construction on Wright County Highway 35 between St. Michael and Buffalo will take place in several stages, beginning with a road closure between 30th Street Northeast and the (Kahl Avenue NE) split (Central Avenue W/St. Michael Parkway). A detour will be posted using 30th Street Northeast and County Highway 19 with a temporary signal at the intersection of those two roads near Schulte’s Nursery and the new storage units.

UPDATE: Despite a “snowy” delay – here’s the latest from the County –

The weather the last few days has obviously pushed back the start of the CSAH 35 road closure. Today (Wednesday) the plan is to start the temporary signal at Highway and 30th Street this morning and if it is operating properly the detour will begin a few hours after. Construction on County Highway 35 will take place in several stages with a road closure between 30th Street NE and the Highway 35 (Kahl Avenue NE) split (Central Avenue W/St. Michael Parkway). A detour will be posted using 30th Street NE and Highway 19 with a temporary signal at the intersection of HIghway 19 and 30th Street NE.

Once the Road Closure begins: The contractor intends to close County 35 (Kahl Avenue NE) to through traffic from 30th Street NE to the CSAH 35 split (St. Michael Parkway/Central Avenue W). Intersection and private driveway access will be maintained.

County 35 will be open to traffic from 30th Street NE to the west (Jamison Avenue NE) throughout the duration of the project. However, expect delays and use caution while traveling through the work zone. Traffic will be shifted to the areas of widened pavement depending on the construction stage.

The project is expected to be completed by late Fall 2024.
