BEMIDJI, Minn. – Motorists on
Highway 200 between Ada and Highway 32 should expect lane closures, slow
traffic and delays when a resurfacing project begins Wednesday, July 29.
Flaggers and a pilot car will
allow one-way, alternating traffic through the work zone. Motorists should slow
down, obey flaggers and use caution as they follow the pilot car.
Crews from Minn-Dak Asphalt of
Thief River Falls will complete the $2.1 million project, which also includes
shouldering work on various highways in the area.
The work will ensure a smoother
and safer roadway for motorists in the region.
This project helps ensure
MnDOT’s transportation system will continue to serve the state for many years. Learn
more about Minnesota’s investment in and maintenance of the state’s
transportation system at MnDOT’s Get Connected site www.dot.state.mn.us/getconnected/.
MnDOT urges motorists to follow these recommendations in work zones: stay alert; watch
for signs, equipment and workers; minimize distractions, such as using cell
phones, eating or drinking; avoid tailgating; follow posted speed limits and
directional signs; and stay in one lane while driving through a work zone.
