Short-term lane closures on Highway 75 in Warren

BEMIDJI, Minn. – Motorists traveling on Highway 75 in Warren will encounter some minor delays and short-term lane closures on Johnson Avenue between First Street South and Second Street North during the week of March 5.

The closure will impact driving and parking lanes during regular business hours for about three days. In addition, no oversized and overweight vehicles will be allowed through the work zone.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will conduct soil borings to investigate a minor past petroleum release from an underground tank at the former LF Knutson & Sons site, located at 125 E. Johnson Ave. The release is not harmful to the public and the MPCA will determine if any corrective actions are necessary.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation urges drivers to be extremely alert near workers and equipment in the work zone.
