CORRECTION: Highway 11 northbound traffic restrictions in place starting Tuesday for overpass repairs
March 13, 2026 - 4:31pm
Traffic restrictions will be in place for the northbound lanes of Highway 11 that pass under the Circle Drive overpass due to repairs following an over-height vehicle impact on March 5. Repairs will begin on Tuesday, March 17.
Northbound traffic on Highway 11 will be reduced to one lane for the duration of the repairs. Highway 16 eastbound traffic will remain reduced to a single lane until repairs are completed. All ramps on the overpass will remain open. Drivers are encouraged to keep traffic moving by maintaining the posted speed limit when possible.
This project is expected to take four weeks to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.
