CROSBY— Those who travel on Highway 210 in Crosby and Ironton will encounter roadwork and delays beginning April 19 as a $6.5 million improvement project gets underway.
Crews will start in east Crosby and reconstruct Highway 210/Main Street Northeast (Highway 6) under traffic from Cross Avenue to east of Third Avenue East, at the Cuyuna Regional Medical Center.
Here’s what to expect through May:

Highway 210 will remain open however, lanes will narrow and shift within the work zone to reconstruct sections. Motorists should expect lane, shoulder or parking closures and periodic stops while flaggers direct traffic. Slow down and pay attention to the road.
Emergency access will always be open to the Cuyuna Regional Medical Center from Third Avenue East.
Pedestrians will encounter sidewalk closures with signed detours. People are asked for their safety to stay out of closed areas.
Access to businesses and residences will be open and always maintained, however people should expect changes and use of alternate accesses.
The Highway 210 truck detour will be up for the full duration of this project and uses Crow Wing County Highway 12, also known as the Deerwood shortcut between Brainerd/Riverton and Deerwood.
The Highway 210 project will reconstruct the road, sidewalks and side street connections between Second Street Southwest and east of Third Avenue Northeast in Crosby. It will also resurface the road, update sidewalks and make any other necessary repairs from Second Street Southwest in Crosby to west of Sixth Avenue Southwest in Ironton.
