Kleffman Road reopened in Hibbing

Kleffman Road reopened in Hibbing

Kleffman Road in Hibbing has reopened to traffic following repairs to a culvert. A portion of the road, which is also known as County Road 710, had to be closed earlier this month after it was determined that the joint connecting two box culverts has separated.

 

St. Louis County Public Works staff will continue to monitor the culvert to determine if more extensive repairs will be needed, but no further closures are anticipated this summer.
