Archived: Detours Will Be Posted When Construction Begins Along Highway 71 In Elrosa

A construction project will begin at the end of the month to improve Highway 71 through Elrosa.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the project is meant to reconstruct and resurface the road, improve sidewalks and driveway entrances, and install new gutters underground.

If you travel along Highway 71 prepare for delays starting Monday, April 24.

Part of the highway between Industrial Avenue and Main Street will close until the end of summer. Driveways and intersections will also temporarily close as needed for work. People who live in the area can contact Project Supervisor Tim Paul with questions at 320-293-9417.

Detours will be posted directing different types of vehicles along different routes. Commercial vehicles will take Interstate 94 and Highways 4 and 55. Cars and smaller trucks will be directed along County Roads 191, 13, 175 and 14.

MnDOT adds at the end of the summer Highway 71 will have a smoother ride and improve drainage and accessibility.
