Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - The Minnesota Department of Transportation this afternoon announced that the off ramp from I-90 to southbound Highway 52 has re-opened.

Access to southbound Highway 52 at the interchange had been closed due to the ongoing construction associated with a three year project that began earlier this year to upgrade the entire interchange. The reopening of the off ramp means all turn movements are now open at the I-90 and Highway 52 interchange.

Work at the site will become much more intense next summer as construction crews began the process of replacing the I-90 bridges over Highway 52 and a "fly over" ramp from southbound Highway 52 to eastbound I-90.
