News Release

Bemidji, Mn. - The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is announcing the removal of a bridge detour on Trunk Highway 9 near Borup. The detour had been in place since flooding caused by heavy rains washed out the bridge in early June.

Duane Hill, Mn/DOT's Northwest District Bridge Engineer, cautions motorists that although the detour is lifted, shoulder work and turf establishment will continue and drivers need to be alert to workers still in the area.

Mn/DOT would like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation during construction.
