A new phase of the repaving of Highway 52 in Fillmore County will mean new detours.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the next phase of the project calls for paving work on the north end of Chatfield north to Olmsted County Road 7. Flaggers will be stopping traffic for short periods so each direction of traffic can take turns in the open lane that's not being paved at the time. The paving will take place, weather permitting, during the weekday.

Another detour is planned to begin Monday, June 3rd, and run until Tuesday, August 6th. That detour will be necessary as crews will replace three box culverts between Olmsted Co. Rd. 16 and Olmsted Co. Rd. 7 North. Traffic will be detoured from Highway 52 to Olmsted Co. Rd. 7 to Interstate 90. Work in the Chatfield city will does not require a traffic detour.
