 One of the area's largest road construction projects began today in Bemidji with lane closures on Highway 2. The project began with construction of lane crossovers which will allow for two lane head-to-head traffic through the construction zone. The project also includes two-stage detours with the first detour beginning at the end of the month. Mindout recommends that drivers should pay extra attention to the roadway crossovers during the next couple of weeks. Obviously pay attention, we will have some advisory speeds when we're in the head-to-head scenario. Be cognizant and be cautious and try not to look off into this and see what's going on. Stay to the highway and remain safe. A separate resurfacing project on Bemidji Avenue is tentatively scheduled to begin on July 10th.
