New detour route marked during Hwy 133 bridge reconstruction

The spring thaw combined with melting snow runoff has now forced the closure of another road in Meadowlands Township. Highway 29 is now closed to all through traffic. It had been part of the designated detour route while the Highway 133 bridge across the Whiteface River is being rebuilt.

Barricades have been set up and detour signs are being posted. The new recommended detour will direct motorists to use Highways 7, 27 and 5. St. Louis County Public Works will continue to monitor the condition of Highway 29, which is a gravel road, and reopen it when conditions allow.
