BAXTER, Minn. – Travelers on Highway 210 between Hewitt and Staples will encounter lane closures and delays as roadwork begins Monday, Sept. 28, advises the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The $3.4 million project will resurface (mill and overlay) Highway 210 between Highway 71 in Hewitt and Highway 10 in Staples. Work will take place Monday to Saturday, during daytime hours, weather permitting. Motorists should be prepared for alternating lane closures in both directions with flaggers and a pilot car guiding traffic through the work zone. Resurfacing will occur in segments, so expect the location of active work to shift as the project progresses.
All work is weather-dependent, and the schedule is subject to change.
MnDOT advises travelers to always slow down when approaching a work zone, then navigate through with care and caution. Other reminders:
Never enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones
Stay alert; work zones constantly change
Watch for workers and slow-moving equipment
Obey posted speed limits; fine for a work zone violation is $300
Minimize distractions behind the wheel
When complete in late October, motorists will benefit from a smoother ride along this stretch of Highway 210.
