MANKATO, Minn. – Construction on Highway 22 between Mapleton and Wells is nearing completion, and the detour is expected to be removed by 1 p.m. today, July 26, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Motorists are urged to watch for workers as minor finishing work along the shoulders continues.
