Overnight lane closure scheduled beginning Sept. 7 at Hastings bridge

Motorists traveling southbound Highway 61 into Hastings may experience delays overnight beginning Tuesday, Sept. 7, when the roadway is reduced to a single lane between approximately Spiral Bridge Road (the entrance to Hub’s Marina) and the Hastings Highway 61 Bridge.

The lane closure will take place between 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7, and 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8, as crews install a temporary concrete barrier on southbound Highway 61 in preparation for permanent construction on the new bridge.

As is expected for the entire project, two-way traffic will remain on the bridge, and access to local businesses and residences should not be affected.
