The construction of an overpass of Hwy. 51 at Cty. C/Northstar Road is scheduled to begin May 13 and continue into late September. Crews will construct an overpass of US 51 at this location, removing at-grade access to the freeway.
During construction, motorists on Hwy. 51 can expect to encounter single lane closures. Once construction begins, crews will permanently remove Cty. C access to Hwy.51. The North Star Road access to US 51 will be permanently closed following improvements to the railroad crossing on North Star Road. Some nighttime closures of the freeway will be required to set girders for the new structure. When the freeway is closed, motorists will be detoured via County K.
