CSAH 27 closure begins July 8 for culvert replacement

The Stevens County Highway Department has announced a closure of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 27. The section of road between CSAH 28 and Trunk Highway 28, a route familiar to many heading towards the University of Minnesota Morris campus, will be closed to through traffic starting Monday, July 8, and is expected to reopen on Friday, July 19. The closure is necessary for a culvert replacement project.

Motorists should plan for detours during this period. The Highway Department advises checking local signage for updated detour routes, which may guide travelers through areas near the historic downtown. The culvert replacement is a routine infrastructure maintenance task aimed at ensuring the continued safety and reliability of the roadway.
