The Otter Tail County Highway Department has temporarily closed County State-Aid Highway (CSAH) 76 over Bluff Creek, located west of Bluffton, after a routine inspection revealed advanced deterioration beneath the bridge.
A detour has been established to redirect traffic, and the department is urging residents to remain patient during this time. The bridge will remain closed until it can be either repaired or replaced.
Updates on the project will be shared on the Otter Tail County Road Construction and Bridge Projects page at ottertailcounty.gov.
For more information, contact the Otter Tail County Highway Department at 218-998-8470 or via email at hwy@ottertailcounty.gov.
This closure is part of the county’s ongoing annual bridge inspection program, ensuring public safety on local roadways.
