LAPORTE — The resurfacing of Highway 64 between Akeley and Laporte is scheduled to begin Sept. 29, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Construction crews will resurface the highway using a micro-mill and thinlay process. This will provide a smoother ride for motorists, MnDOT stated. Work is expected to be complete mid-October, weather permitting.
The project is located on Highway 64 between the intersections of Highway 34 near Akeley and Highway 200 near Laporte. Motorists can expect flagger and pilot car operations.
