LOCAL BRIEFS Road preservation work slated for area highways
BAXTER - Motorists should plan for traffic restrictions on two area highways beginning about May 30, as crews apply a bituminous seal coat surface treatment on the pavement to extend the life of the roadway.
The highway segments scheduled for the preventative maintenance include:
¥ Highway 6 from the Mississippi River to south of Emily in Crow Wing County (about 6 miles); and Highway 6 from Remer to Highway 2 in Cass and Itasca counties (about 21 miles).
¥ Highway 371 from Backus to Hackensack in Cass County (about 7 miles).
During the work, a pilot car and flaggers will control traffic and motorists should plan for daily weekday lane closures. Crews will be working during daylight hours between sunrise and sunset. Drivers are urged to slow down and be alert for the workers and equipment in the work zone. Weather permitting, the work is expected to be complete by the end of June.
