City of Detroit Lakes Reopens West Lake Drive

DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – The city of Detroit Lakes reopened West Lake Drive, Tuesday.

That stretch of West Lake Drive has been closed for nearly the entire summer as crews have been working on narrowing the roadway, adding curb and gutter, new sanitary sewer services, and adding a multi-use trail on the East side of the roadway.

“The project will not be done this year, the road will be reopened, in the spring that area will have to be shut down again to finish the trail construction,” said City Administrator Kelcey Klemm.

The cost of the West Lake Drive Phase 1 is just over $5 million while Phase 2 sits at $4.2 million.
