A short detour expected in Bemidji during construction of the Highway 71 roundabout.

BEMIDJI — Beginning June 12, some motorists on Highway 71 in Bemidji may experience a short detour at the roundabout on Anne Street that is expected to last up to three days, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The closure will allow crews to make repairs to a section of the concrete on the northwest corner of the intersection. Motorists who need to travel through that portion will detour onto Fern Street and Technology Drive.
