 Motorists who travel Highway 371 in the Brainerd Lakes area may encounter delays in the beginning next week, I should say. Those traveling between Highway 210 and Baxter and 50th Avenue Northwest, located six miles south of Highway 210, will encounter construction crews, heavy equipment, and delays after a project to resurface the road begins on Tuesday, May 29. Motorists should plan additional time for travel as occasional backups are expected. Motorists approaching the daily work zones should slow down, be prepared to stop, and move over to give crews room to safely complete their work. The closures are needed while crews resurface the roadway. When complete in mid-August, the project will provide a smoother ride along six miles of Highway 371 and extend the life of the road.
