Highway 11 Warroad project update: May 31
What's happening now?
- Crews continue placing storm sewer south down Hwy 11 on the west side of the highway
- Placed centerline culvert near CR 5 intersection
- Work began on Cedar Ave. near Lake Street intersection with pavement removal and utility relocates progressing
What's next?
- Pavement removal and subcut preparation will get underway on Hwy 11. Prepare for an abundance of truck traffic entering and leaving the work zone.
- Cedar Ave. will begin storm sewer replacement. Temporary closures of driveways are anticipated as the work zone progresses northward.
Traffic Impact:
- Truck traffic should continue to use the truck detour
- In town traffic is currently two lane on half of the roadway
- Motorists should continue to pay attention and use caution in the work zone
The contractor for this $17.5 million dollar project is Spruce Valley. This project will create a safer, longer lasting driving surface as well as improve drainage, pedestrian accessibility, and a safer intersection. It is estimated to be complete by October 2024, and resume in the spring of 2025, weather permitting. Visit the project website below for more information, sign up for email updates, as well as a project map: www.mndot.gov/d2/projects/hwy11-warroad.
Important reminders for motorists regarding work zone safety:
- Slow down when approaching every work zone, then navigate through with care and caution.
- Stay alert; work zones constantly change.
- Watch for workers and slow-moving equipment.
- Obey posted speed limits. Fine for a violation in a work zone is $300.
- Minimize distractions behind the wheel.
- Be patient; expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
