CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Construction crews will be starting tomorrow morning, Wednesday, September 16th, on the milling portion of the Hwy 2 Frontage Road Project at the location shown below. Crews plan to start on the east end of the project and work their way west over the next couple of days.

During this process, roadways will be reduced to one-lane of traffic with flaggers controlling access around the mill machine. This process is generally a fast-moving operation and access issues should be limited throughout this part of the project. Do expect some minor delays while crews are working through the milling at intersections. Crews are currently set to begin the paving portion of this project sometime mid to late next week. Updates will be provided as they become available.

Slow down and drive carefully in these construction zones to allow crews to work safely and effectively.
