BAXTER-Motorists who use Crow Wing County Road 107/Wilderness Road to access Cullen Lake and other areas of Pequot Lakes may encounter delays beginning Monday, April 11, when the south junction of County Road 107 at Highway 371 closes.
The closures are part of the Highway 371 four-lane expansion project in Nisswa, Pequot Lakes and Jenkins.
All lanes of Highway 371, and the north junction of County Road 107/Highway 371, will remain open. A signed detour will direct motorists to the north junction of County Road 107/Highway 371, two miles north of the south County Road 107/Wilderness Road and Highway 371 junction.
County Road 107/Wilderness Road at Highway 371 will reopen in September.
When complete in 2017, the project will:
