U.S. Highway 218 reduced to one lane today due to construction

U.S. Highway 218 will be reduced to one lane in Lyle today.

The closure will allow repair work to take place on the northbound shoulder of the highway near Pershing Avenue. The Minnesota Department of Transportation reported that the shoulder area was damaged during construction.

Flaggers will be in place to move traffic in one direction at a time in the single open lane.
