Minnesota River Bridge Closure on Hwy 212 in Granite Falls Begins

(Granite Falls, MN)   The Minnesota Department of Transportation will temporarily close the Minnesota River Bridge in Granite Falls starting today (June 8) for approximately two weeks as crews resurface the bridge.

The bridge is located on Highway 212 just east of Highway 23.

Traffic will be detoured to Highways 212, 7, and 23 during that time.

Officials say the closure is necessary as vibrations from vehicles would interfere with the setting and hardening of the new concrete.

This will be the first of two closures for the project.
