Minnesota River Bridge closure on Highway 212 in Granite Falls starts August 17 (Aug. 13, 2026)

GRANITE FALLS, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will temporarily close the Minnesota River Bridge in Granite Falls starting Monday, August 17 for approximately two weeks as crews resurface the remaining side of the bridge.

The bridge is located on Highway 212 just east of Highway 23.

Traffic will be detoured to Highways 212, 7, and 23 during this time. The closure is necessary as vibrations from vehicles would interfere with the setting and hardening of the new concrete. This is the last of two closures needed for the project.

Benefits of the project include a smoother driving surface, and an extended lifespan for the bridge.

PCiRoads is the contractor for the $1.67 million project, which is expected to be completed in early September, depending on weather or other unforeseeable circumstances.
