BAXTER, Minn. – Motorists on Highway 27 between Little Falls and Long Prairie will encounter lane closures, flaggers and potential delays as segments of the road are reduced to a single lane beginning Friday, Sept. 11.
The closures will occur from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, between Ninth Street NE in Long Prairie and 127thAvenue in Little Falls, and will be complete by the end of September.
Flaggers and a pilot car will allow one-way, alternating traffic through each day’s work zone. Motorists should slow down and be prepared to stop as they approach each work zone, obey the flaggers and use caution as they follow the pilot car through the work zone.
Also, motorists entering a work zone from driveways or roads that intersect Highway 27 must wait for the pilot car to pass, then follow it through the work zone.
The closures are needed while crews resurface 22 miles of Highway 27. When complete, the project will help extend the life of the pavement and help ensure Highway 27 serves local and regional motorists for many years.
