CLEARWATER (WJON News) -- A two-year road construction project in Clearwater will get underway in July.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation will start work on a new Highway 24 and Interstate 94 interchange on Tuesday, July 7th.

Crews will begin by preparing the work zone along Highway 24 and I-94 this season.

Next spring, MnDOT will reconstruct the bridge, roadway, and build roundabouts at the eastbound and westbound ramps of I-94 and at County Road 145. Highway 24 will also be reconstructed between Wright County Road 145 and Smith Street.

Wright County will be building a new roundabout this year at Highway 24 and County Road 7.

The $17-million project will also include sidewalk and multi-use trail extensions between County Road 145 and County Road 75.

MnDOT says Highway 24 will remain open throughout construction with one lane of traffic in each direction.
