District Wide Culvert Project Begins Today

DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Beginning today, (Monday, July 19) the Minnesota Department of Transportation will begin a district wide culvert improvement project throughout much of the Lakes Area.

The work will include replacing and repairing existing culverts along several Minnesota highways, including Highway 29, between Glenwood and Interstate 94, Highway 108, east of Ottertail, Highway 108, north of Henning and Highway 210, east of Fergus Falls.

Motorists can expect to encounter lane closures and flaggers in the areas where crews are working. There are 11 total culverts that will be repaired. Depending on the fix, crews may spend anywhere from one to seven days at each culvert location.

The project is estimated to cost $608,000 and is expected to be complete by the end of August.
