Motorists should be aware that road construction on Highway 55 between Pleasant Drive and Westview Drive in Hastings began Monday, September 22, 2025, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The project involves replacing traffic signals and upgrading pedestrian ramps to meet current accessibility standards.
The eastbound lane between Pleasant and Westview will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. Sept. 22, with reopening expected Friday, Sept. 26. Detours are in place for both regular traffic and trucks.
After the eastbound work is done, crews will shift to the westbound lane, closing it between Westview Drive and Pleasant Drive from Monday, Sept. 29 through Wednesday, Oct. 8.
Projected completion of the project is sometime in October 2025.
Drivers are reminded to slow down in the work zones, follow detour signage, and allow extra travel time.
