Beginning September 20, motorists on Highway 2 east of Crookston will experience short-term delays and lane closures as the resurfacing project begins. The project includes grading and resurfacing Highway 2 from Highway 9 to Highway 32.
The project will be completed under traffic. Motorists can expect short term delays, lane closures and flagging operations.
The contractor for this $1.4 million dollar project is Anderson Brothers Construction Company of Brainerd, LLC. This project will create a safer, longer lasting road surface. It is estimated to be complete by the end of October, weather permitting. Visit the project website for more information and a project map: www.mndot.gov/d2/projects/hwy2-resurfacing.
