Flaggers, pilot car will control traffic through work zones
ST CLOUD, Minn. – Motorists may encounter delays on Highway 28 between Highway 71 in Sauk Centre and Highway 27 west of Little Falls as segments of the road are reduced to a single lane beginning Tuesday, May 19.
The closures will occur Mondays through Saturdays from sunrise to sunset through mid-June.
Flaggers and a pilot car will allow one-way, alternating traffic through the daily work zones. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop as they approach each work zone, then obey the flaggers and use caution as they follow the pilot car through the daily work zone.
Motorists entering a work zone from driveways or roads that intersect Highway 28 must wait for the pilot car to pass, then follow it through the work zone.
The project will result in a smoother ride along 28 miles of Highway 28 and help ensure MnDOT’s transportation system continues to serve the state for many years.
