Business Hwy 2 in East Grand Forks to temporarily close for RR maintenance

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.
