Highway 25 Construction Begins Monday, Expect One-Way Traffic

PIERZ (WJON News) -- A 14-mile road construction project in Morrison County will have serious traffic impacts starting Monday.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation will be resurfacing Highway 25 from south of Genola to the Morrison County and Crow Wing County line north of Pierz.

The project will require segments of alternate one-way traffic with flaggers and a pilot car.

Work will be done in segments, which will also force drivers to detour around the replacement of three box culverts.

There will be a detour north of Pierz for about eight weeks and a Genola detour for about four weeks.

Access to homes and businesses will be maintained; however, hard closures will be necessary at times to work under the road.

The $7.3-million project is slated for completion in late September or early October.
