Residents traversing Morrison County this week should prepare for a flurry of construction and maintenance activity from June 3 through June 7. The county's alert warns of potential delays and calls for heightened caution around work zones. Road maintenance will include graveling of County Road 268 and repairs like patching potholes, and crack sealing on CSAH 23, and CSAH 38, ensuring a smoother ride for those areas soon.

This week's work isn't limited to the regular upkeep by the county’s staff — contracted construction crews will be busy with specialized tasks they are paving and shouldering on CSAH 1, County Road 205, and County Road 206 North of Randall, and there is culvert work on County Road 225. The disruption is meant to culminate in safer and more navigable streets. The county-wide beautification efforts haven't been forgotten. Painting pavement markings remain on the agenda, adding to the visible transformations taking place on the roadways.

To promote road safety and prevent accidents, roadside mowing is set to begin across the county. The trimmed vegetation will provide clearer lines of sight for drivers and help prevent wildlife-related accidents. The County urges drivers to remain alert for flaggers and work crews, who will be signaling and directing traffic in active areas to ensure the safety of everyone involved—from those behind the wheel to the workers on the ground.
