MANKATO-September 18, 2012-(KMKO)-Motorists will encounter delays and closures when crews begin constructing a truck acceleration lane on Highway 169 at the Highway 14 interchange on the north edge of Mankato beginning September 24th.  During these closures, traffic will use the Highway 14 interchange at Third Avenue in Mankato to circle back to either northbound Highway 169 or westbound Highway 14.  The project is expected to last about two weeks.  For current statewide travel information, visit www.511mn.org.
