Did the Wabasha loop today and on the way back there was a sign in Lake City that highway 61 will be closed beginning July 5th. I noted signs on the side of the road all the way up through Frontenac.
I didnt note any detour signs so just be alert to the fact you may have to pick a different route.
Co Rd 5 is always a nice ride between Redwing and Lake City.
You can check MN511 website for up to date road closures.
