AITKIN COUNTY — As highway officials are preparing for another roadwork season, an event will share more information on the second year of the project on Highway 169 in Aitkin County.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation will host the drop-in event 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, at the Aitkin Public Library.
Work planned this year is expected to begin in late April and will occur between the Ripple River and the Highway 210 intersection. That entire portion will be reconstructed, including underground pipes.
A detour will bring motorists through McGregor and then west on 210 back to 169.
The project is expected to be completed by November, with a wider and smoother road surface and improved drainage.
