Expect delays for westbound travel from Luverne

Rock County motorists may want to avoid County Road 5 (Dodge Street) west of Luverne for the next week or two. The county state aid blacktop is getting a mill off and overly from Highway 75 west to County Road 6 (the Beaver Creek road.) The road is not closed, but travel is reduced to one lane in several areas. The best alternative for traveling west from Luverne is currently County Road 4 (Old Highway 16), because Luverne's I-90 ramp to travel west remains closed while constractors continue working on the westbound lanes between Luverne and Beaver Creek.
