The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the detour of Highway 52 near Chatfield was lifted Monday, as crews finished the first stage of culvert replacement.

With the first stage of the road project completed, motorists can again drive on Highway 52 from Chatfield to Marion near Interstate 90. Paving work will be occurring, so there will be flaggers stopping traffic for short periods to allow traffic in both directions to be able to take turns in the open lane that's not being paved at the time.

A new detour will begin in three weeks on June 3rd.
