Heads up, Morrison County motorists: expect some road work on your daily commute. As per Morrison County's latest alert, the week of May 12th to May 18th is going to be chock-full of maintenance work, including culvert installations and road graveling operations. The notice, published on May 13th, advises drivers to mind the ongoing construction efforts throughout the region.

Maintenance workers are setting up a new culvert on CSAH 47, a task that is crucial for managing water flow and preventing road damage. Meanwhile, the graveling operation on County Road 239 could mean rougher rides but ultimately smoother ones once the task is complete. In addition, patch jobs, specifically pothole and crack sealing, are slated for CSAH 2, CSAH 52, and County Road 201.

But it's not just county employees getting their hands dirty—contracted crews are also diving into the trenches with culvert work on County Road 225. If you're traveling down County Road 285, County Road 204, or CSAH 3, prepare for milling and paving operations that promise to make for a smoother journey afterward.

The county's alert gives a fair warning to locals: keep an eye out for work crews donning bright vests, flaggers controlling traffic, and those unmistakable flashing lights. Drivers should proceed with extra caution and patience through these zones, respecting the ongoing labor that keeps our roads in shipshape.
