DETROIT LAKES, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 59 between
Detroit Lakes and the Buffalo River north of Callaway will encounter
intermittent lane and shoulder closures when a resurfacing project begins
Tuesday, May 27, weather permitting. The project also includes several culvert
replacements and pedestrian accessibility improvements within the city of
Callaway.
Crews will begin by replacing culverts and making the pedestrian
accessibility improvements. During this phase of the project, traffic impacts
will be limited to occasional lane and shoulder closures. Flaggers may be
required at times, but delays will be minimal.
Later phases of the project will require a detour.
Additional information on the detour and the resurfacing portion of the project
will be released later.
Central Specialties, Inc. of Alexandria is the prime
contractor for the $4.8 million project. Work is expected to be complete by
late July.
When the project is complete, motorists will notice a
smoother, safer ride along 14 miles of Highway 59. This project helps ensure
MnDOT’s transportation system will continue to serve the state for many years.
