BEMIDJI, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 11
in northern Minnesota will see the roadway completely reopened with work
completed on Thursday, Nov. 6.
Work began July 14 on the project, which
included 11 miles of new pavement, shoulder widening and ditch grading.
Some minor restoration work will occur
in the spring, including permanent striping and minor cleanup work along the
route.
After the reconstruction, Highway 11 is
safer and smoother. Water drainage has
also been greatly improved. The highway will serve northern Minnesota and the
border region for many years to come.
