Stearns County Road 137 bridge in Waite Park opens to all travelers

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation is excited to announce that the Stearns County Road 137 bridge over Highway 15 in Waite Park will reopen to all travelers by Friday afternoon, Aug. 8.

Work began in May to resurface the bridge deck (replace the concrete wearing coarse); replace the approach panels and joints, along with other bridge repairs; and upgrade bridge railing and steel barrier approaches.

Benefits of the $1 million project include a smoother bridge surface and improved motorist and pedestrian safety.

MnDOT thanks the traveling public for their continued patience as Stearns County Road 137 was detoured during construction.
