‼️TRAFFIC ALERT‼️
Highway 60 motorists crossing the Mississippi River in Wabasha will encounter lane closures and brief traffic delays starting June 3rd through June 4th for the inspection of the Highway 60 Wabasha bridge, the Michael Duane Clickner Memorial Bridge. During this time, traffic will be reduced to a single lane and flaggers will alternate traffic flow and motorists should expect traffic delays during the daytime inspection process.
This annual inspection evaluates safety and monitors the effects of traffic, weather and other elements on the structure. If weather affects the inspection work, crews will return the week of June 15th to complete the work.
Crews will use a snooper truck. This is used for bridge inspections that have high vertical heights or span areas that make it difficult to inspect it underneath. A snooper truck is a specialty vehicle that has a multi-jointed arm with a basket attached at the end to hold the bridge inspectors. The equipment allows the inspection team to maneuver under the bridge, while the truck is parked on the bridge deck
⚠️Important safety reminders when travelling in work zones⚠️
