Traffic Alert: Highway 169 narrowed for construction

Work will continue at 46th Street North requiring lane closures

As ODOT continues work on Highway 169 at Highway 266 (46th St N.), crews will be narrowing the highway for several hours.

The southbound direction of Hwy 169 will be narrowed down to just one lane from 8 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday. At certain times during that period, the highway may be completely shut down for up to 20 minutes at a time.

The same work will be going on in the northbound direction of Hwy 169 Friday night at 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. Saturday.

ODOT says drivers can expect periodic closures such as these through August as the construction of two new bridges and all new on and off ramps wraps up.
