CHISHOLM — The Minnesota Department of Transportation will start pavement resurfacing work on Highway 73 north of Chisholm on Monday, May 19.
Motorists can expect single lane traffic controlled by flaggers and a pilot car during daytime work hours.
This 19-mile work zone is located between Johnson Road and Highway 1.
A temporary full closure of 73 with a detour will be required in June.
All project work is expected to be complete in late September.
