BEMIDJI, Minn.—Business
Highway 2 in East Grand Forks, between Fifth Avenue NE and County Road
17, will be temporarily closed from Monday, Oct. 29 through Friday, Nov.
2, as railroad crews complete a project to replace the concrete
surface at the crossing.
Traffic will be detoured to Fifth Avenue NE and Highway 2.
Local
access to American Crystal Sugar will be maintained for sugar beet
trucks. Due next week’s traffic flow changes, the Minnesota Department
of Transportation urges motorists to watch for additional traffic from
beet harvest, always drive with caution, and never enter a roadway that
has been blocked with barriers or cones.
