Bemidji, Minn— The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is advising the public that it is suspending it's work connected with the bridge replacement on T.H. 310 north of Roseau until next spring.

According to J.T. Anderson, Mn/DOT's Resident Engineer for Construction in the Thief River Falls office, "replacing the bridge is complete, however, paving of the highway at both ends of the bridge will not be done until next spring." Anderson added, "highway 310 has a gravel surface which extends approximately 400 feet on each end of the bridge and the area is signed warning drivers that the pavement ends and there is loose gravel."

Anderson said work would resume as soon as spring road restrictions are lifted and weather conditions permit next spring. It is anticipated that once work resumes, it will only take a few days to complete.
