Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – Road work is scheduled to begin June 19 on Richwood Road.
According to the Becker County Highway Department, the pavement between Highway 34 and Tower Road on Richwood Road will be removed and replaced.
The road will still be open to local traffic, but longer delays should be expected as drivers will need to follow the directions of construction flag workers and follow a pilot car through the construction zone.
Thru-traffic on Richwood Road is encouraged to find alternative routes to avoid delays during construction.
The road replacement is expected to be completed by July 14.
Construction updates can be found on theĀ Becker County website, under the highway department tab.
