Stewartville, MN (KROC AM News) - A traffic detour in the Stewartville area scheduled for Friday has been postponed because of rainy weather.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation had scheduled a concrete pour Friday at the Highway 63/I-90 bridge project that would have affected motorists traveling on the interstate.

The concrete pour for the northbound bridge is now scheduled to take place Saturday from 6:00 AM - 2:00 PM. 

MnDOT says the detour will require westbound motorists to exit I-90 at Hwy 52 (Exit 218) north to Rochester, Hwy 63 south to I-90 where it rejoins the highway. Eastbound motorists will exit I-90 at High Forest (Exit 205) follow Olmsted County Road 6 east into Stewartville, then north on Hwy 63 to connect again with I-90.
