Drivers in the Waverly area should prepare for a short-term shake-up in their daily commute. Starting from Monday, September 8th, through Tuesday, September 9th, 2025, County Highway 9 along the east side of Waverly Lake will be closed, according to a Wright County announcement. A statement from the county mentions that the closure is to facilitate the removal of large trees from a private residence by a private contractor.
While the inconvenience might agitate some local travelers, the disruption is only slated to last two days, pending favorable weather. Expecting to reroute traffic, the county has organized a detour that will guide vehicles via County Highway 107 and County Highway 8. Residents who are used to taking the scenic route by the lake will have to settle for a small change of scenery, driven down a different path by the hands of necessity and safety.
In light of the pending roadwork, the Wright County Highway Department is asking for the community's patience and understanding. This closure, albeit brief, could lead to longer travel times or confusion for those unaware of the changes. The county assures that the obstruction is for the important task of maintaining local properties and, implicitly, the safety of the passageway for travelers.
The public looking for more information, or those with questions regarding the tree removal and ensuing road closure, can reach out to the highway department directly. By dialing 763-682-7383, residents can get in touch with officials who can offer additional guidance.
