Construction on Whiting Rd NW from Irvine Ave NW-Werner Rd NW in Northern Township May 2014

NORTHERN Township - construction project - 2 year project

Whiting Rd NW, from Irvine Ave NW to Werner Rd NW - all located within Northern Township north of Bemidji approximately 7 miles-  will be undergoing construction beginning this week beginning May 21 2014.  This will include marking utilities, reclaiming the bituminous, grubbing, dropping trees, etc.  

The road will be closed to thru traffic however emergency services, local traffic and buses will have access.  It is suggested that those that use that road that do not live in the area refrain from doing so-  traffic will impede progress significantly.  If traveling that stretch, drive very slowly and carefully on this road way- flaggers will be used where necessary.  The goal of this project is to widen the road to allow for shoulders and upgrading the roadway.  Notices of full closure will be sent as they happen.
