GRAND RAPIDS — The Minnesota Department of Transportation will work on milling and paving Highway 2 in the Grand Rapids area the week of Monday, Sept. 15.
MnDOT reported motorists can expect flagging operations, lane closures and pilot cars during daylight working hours. There may be extended delays, especially during commute times.
On Monday and Tuesday, work will take place in the city of Grand Rapids, including on the cross streets of Southeast Seventh Avenue and Northeast Eighth Avenue.
From Tuesday through Friday, work will also occur between Northeast Third Street in Grand Rapids and Kolp Road, about three miles southeast of LaPrairie.
