Highway 15 southbound closed and later reopened, St Cloud MN
Road ClosureThe Department of Transportation coordinated with law enforcement to close Highway 15 southbound in St Cloud, Minnesota. A line of cars on the bridge was held until the lane was reopened. Officers managed traffic by funneling vehicles down the ramp to prevent drivers from bypassing the closure and directed them to exit at Benton. After confirming the road was clear, they reopened the ramp to allow traffic to proceed safely.

817. Okay,
00:02
but I can give the information to you as well.
00:04
DOT has informed me that they have self-on-15 block.
00:08
They do have a line of cars that are on the bridge already that were there when they blocked it, and they're wondering when we can let that line of cars through. If you just want to advise when the lane is open to let them go through.
00:26
Thanks for us.
00:27
The phone is on the back thing up.
00:29
Open out there, sir.
00:31
Good for.
00:36
Go forward.
00:38
I need to go over the back.
00:49
Okay, no, I'm good.
00:55
With the no show that I sent, I did send it in-week-of-all three minutes, you want to put a note in there that I talked to the staff with that's phone if you wasn't going.
01:11
Okay,
01:13
I am so sorry, but I can't hear you.
01:19
With the notion that I sent, I sent it earlier and I sent it through the Ranger,
01:27
can you put a note in there to let whoever looks at it know that I talked to the staff and that's why I only waited a couple minutes instead of three.
01:40
I'm happy.
01:46
Thank you. Very far.
01:53
Look like DOT is actually shutting down all the southbound now.
01:56
Strap control on 15.
02:01
Rana 2 and I are going to take off.
02:05
I think if you guys pull up ahead here, if Justin you kind of angle at the very end of this point where the grass starts,
02:15
and the other two trucks come up and keep funneling them down the ramp, basically we're just trying to keep them from sneaking through and staying on the ramp.
02:21
It's going to be a little bit of an unconventional layout,
02:24
which is...
02:25
kind of get in place that way, so we're funneling them, they're staying down the ramp.
02:39
I think if you come up here and do exactly what you're doing from the left lane and just block the whole thing and then the other two push them over, they should be good. I just don't want them to sneak out and we want them to get off on Benton.
03:00
The St. Claude.
03:06
47-197 happened to me.
03:13
