Westbound I-90 off-ramp to northbound Hwy 52 reopens southeast of Rochester
ROCHESTER, Minn. – The westbound Interstate 90 off-ramp to northbound Highway 52 reopened today, Aug. 18, after construction crews completed a realignment of the ramps and installed new box culverts underneath, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The ramp was closed and detoured in July for construction. Each of the ramps at the I-90/Highway 52 interchange have been reconstructed or realigned along with culvert work to update the hydraulic system that serves the area.
Highway 52 is open after a one-day detour on Aug. 17 for a bridge deck concrete pour.
Current detours
- Westbound I-90 motorists who want to travel south on Highway 52 should use Exit 224 at Eyota, and travel south on Olmsted County Road 7 to Highway 52 north of Chatfield.
- Northbound Highway 52 motorists who want to go east on I-90 should continue northbound on Highway 52, taking Exit 47 at Marion Road, cross the bridge and enter onto southbound Highway 52 and take the flyover bridge exit to eastbound I-90.
- Eastbound I-90 to southbound Highway 52. Motorists use I-90 Exit 224 (Eyota) and travel south on Olmsted Co Rd 7 to connect with Highway 52 north of Chatfield.
- Southbound Highway 52 to westbound I-90. In Rochester motorists exit Highway 52 to southbound Highway 63 and travel to I-90 north of Stewartville.
