ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- We've been talking about it for a few years now and Monday is the day the Highway 10 and 23 interchange project begins in east St. Cloud.

Fourth Street Southeast is closing Monday between Lincoln Avenue Southeast and the west frontage road.

Also, Lincoln Avenue Southeast is closed at Fourth Street Southeast this week through Friday to connect a city sewer pipe below the intersection.

Highway 10 is going to have period lane closures in both directions between Benton Drive Southeast and 15th Avenue Southeast. Sometime early this summer Highway 10 will be reduced to one lane in each direction which will be 24 hours a day seven days a week.

Highway 23 will also have periodic lane closures in both directions between Wilson Avenue and 25th Avenue Northeast. Sometime early this summer Highway 23 will also be reduced to one lane in each direction 24 hours a day seven days a week.
