Updated: August 2

Welia Health-Hinckley is advising patients and visitors of potential traffic delays due to the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Hinckley Bridge Replacement Project. This multi-phase project may impact access to our facility in both the short and long term.

Hinckley ramp update

The northbound I-35 on and off ramps at Hwy 48 will remain closed through August 9 due to work delays. During the closure, motorists can access Hinckley via a detour on Hwy 61. Southbound ramps at Hwy 48 will remain open.

Traffic will continue travelling on single-lane, head-to-head pattern through the fall. Motorists should expect delays during peak weekend travel times.

  • Exit at Highway 23 (St. Croix Scenic Byway) before Hinckley.
  • Turn left onto Highway 23.
