BEMIDJI, Minn. – Motorists traveling on Highway 9 will encounter a detour between U.S. Highway 2 and the Polk/Norman county line when construction resumes Tuesday, July 26, to repair several culverts and resurface the highway. The project was temporarily suspended during a three-week state government shutdown.
To prepare for the work, a detour will begin Monday, July 25. Northbound traffic from Ada will be detoured east on Norman County Road 19 for approximately 11 miles to Highway 32, then north on Highway 32 to Highway 102 north of Fertile, and northwest on Highway 102 to Highway 9 . Southbound traffic will follow the same detour route in reverse.
The project was scheduled to be completed in early August, but will be revised due to the delay.
