Motorists traveling on Interstate 90 at the west end of Austin will encounter a detour up the exit and down the entrance ramps at the Highway 105/Oakland Avenue bridge overnight on Monday as crews pour concrete for the new bridge deck over the highway, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The detour will begin at 8 p.m. Monday and end by 6 a.m. Tuesday. Traffic will be slowed through the detour up and down the ramps.
