DETROIT
LAKES, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 10 on the west side of Detroit
Lakes will encounter a traffic shift Monday, June 1, weather permitting.
All traffic will move to the north side of the highway with a single
lane in each direction.
Businesses
along the adjacent frontage road will remain accessible through
temporary median crossings. Those crossing locations will shift
throughout the project.
Delays
on Highway 10 are likely this summer, particularly on Friday and Sunday
afternoons as people travel between Fargo-Moorhead and the lakes area.
Motorists should consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
The
overall project will result in several improvements to the
transportation system in the Detroit Lakes area. Key elements include:
· Resurfacing of Highway 10 from the Detroit Lakes airport to Highway 59
· Reconstructing and realigning the frontage road along Highway 10 and Highway 59 (including a multi-use trail)
· Constructing a bridge on Highway 59 to connect an extension of Holmes Street with the new frontage road system
This
project helps ensure Minnesota’s transportation system will continue to
serve the state for many years. Learn how MnDOT works to meet the
