[Winona Online Democracy] There are two detours proposed. The primary detour would direct traffic west on Highway 61 to 54th Avenue to Theurer Boulevard. This detour would be in place during the entire reconstruction of Pelzer Street in 2005 and 2006. During the summer of 2006, the connection of Theurer Boulevard to Riverview Drive will be under construction. During this period a second detour is required to direct traffic to the commercial harbor.
Mankato Avenue to 2nd Street would work as a detour. Because truckers will typically take the most direct route to their destination, Huff Street was chosen as the secondary detour. Gilmore/Cummings/5th St/McBride/2nd Street would, also, work as a detour. This is a less desirable route because of the number of turning movements. The use of Huff Street as the secondary detour is not for certain. Huff Street was our initial choice based on limited turning movements and it provided the shortest/direct route. We will consider all alternatives suggested. Any route chosen will need to accommodate a 9-ton axle load. Please keep discussions to the pros and cons of detour routes for Pelzer Street. These detours will be temporary, and will increase traffic on the route chosen. If you have questions or comments on any other aspects of the Pelzer Street Project, please visit the project web site.
