Crews will close Hwy. 63 in both directions in the area of the highway’s intersection with Wabasha County Rd. 15, which is about four miles southwest of Lake City. 

Wabasha County crews will be removing part of the rock slope to give motorists on County Rd. 15 a better view of southbound Hwy. 63, a MnDOT news release says. 

Parts of County Rd. 15 will be closed at times near the intersection during the excavation work.
