BEMIDJI,
Minn. – Motorists on Highways 9 and 75 between Borup-Felton and
Stephen-Argyle, respectively, will experience staged detours beginning
Monday, June 1, as crews begin bridge rehabilitation on five bridges on
Highway 9.
The
first stage of the detours between Ada and Crookston will continue and
is expected to conclude around June 15, weather permitting.
The
second stage of the detours will begin on June 1, with Highway 9
detoured between Felton and Borup. Motorists driving south on Highway 9
from Borup will proceed westbound on CSAH 39 for seven miles, and then
follow CSAH 12/11 southbound for seven miles. Motorists will then
proceed 7 miles east on CSAH 34 to Felton and Highway 9.
Highway
75 will also be detoured between Stephen and Argyle. Motorists driving
south on Highway 75 from Stephen will proceed westbound on CSAH 5 for
5.9 miles, and then drive south on CSAH 10 for 8.1 miles. Motorists
will then proceed eastbound on CSAH 4 for 8.4 miles back to Argyle and
Highway 75.
Stage 2 of the detour is expected to conclude by the end of June, weather permitting.
Crews
will be repairing and maintaining bridges along the route,
necessitating the detour. This project will ensure that Highway 9 in
Norman County will be a safer and smoother roadway for many years to
come.
