Construction on I-90 at Humboldt to Continue Through Summer

Construction work on Interstate 90 at Humboldt (exit 379) will continue through the summer construction season.

The contractor, Reede Construction of Aberdeen, is currently working on constructing a footing for the new I-90 bridge over state Highway 19. This work will require the closure of Highway 19 under I-90 from 6 a.m. to approximately 6:30 p.m. on May 23.

Traffic on Highway 19 will be reduced to one lane throughout the construction project. Stop signs will be in place at each end of the work zone. Traffic will be required to take alternating turns traveling through the work zone.

This construction work is part of a larger project to replace the westbound lanes on I-90 between mile markers 377 and 390. The overall project completion date is November 30.

The contractor is asking motorists to drive with caution through the work zone and to be aware of the reduced lane capacity. Motorists are also asked to plan ahead for their travel and to allow extra time for their commute.
