CONSTRUCTION ON HIGHWAY ONE NEAR OSLO BEGINS THIS WEEK

The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced today that construction on Highway 1 east of Oslo begins June 24.  The project includes resurfacing Highway 1 from Oslo to approximately three miles east of Oslo. Motorists will experience lane closures, flaggers, and pilot car operations.

Agassiz Asphalt is the contractor for the $970,000 project. Weather permitting, it is expected to be completed in early July. For more information and a detour map, visit the project website: www.mndot.gov/d2/projects/hwy1-oslo.

Project benefits and cost

The project’s benefits include a safer road, improved drainage, and a smoother and longer-lasting driving surface.

Important reminders for motorists regarding work zone safety:

  • Slow down when approaching every work zone, then navigate through with care and caution.
  • Stay alert; work zones constantly change.
  • Watch for workers and slow-moving equipment.
  • Obey posted speed limits. Fine for a violation in a work zone is $300.
  • Minimize distractions behind the wheel.
  • Be patient; expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
