Motorists in Morrison County should brace for detours and delays as road crews embark on a week of heavy maintenance and construction activities. According to an alert from the Morrison County website, the county's maintenance employees will be focusing their efforts on graveling County Road 239 and addressing the perennial nuisances of patching potholes and crack sealing on CSAH 23 and CSAH 52 from May 20 to May 24.
The work, they said will be supervised by flaggers, and will also see contracted construction crews undertaking significant infrastructure improvements. These crews have a busy schedule planned, with culvert installation and paving patches lined up for County Road 225, and a more extensive agenda of milling, paving, and shouldering on County Road 285, County Road 204, CSAH 3, & CSAH 1 looming on the horizon. Regular commuters along these routes should plan ahead for potential backups or seek alternative paths.
A warning has been issued to county residents and passersby urging them to exercise caution in the midst of these changes. "Please use caution around flaggers, work crews and flashing lights," urged the Morrison County officials in their statement. This emphasis on safety comes as no surprise, given the inherent hazards associated with road construction zones, both to the road workers and the traveling public.
While disruptions are expected, County officials have not provided specific information on the duration of work on individual roads. Judging by the flashing lights and the presence of work crews, informed residents can deduce their daily travel may be impacted. Regular updates on the progress of these projects or any changes to the planned work can be found on the Morrison County website.
