Speed reduced for crossover lanes on U.S. Highway 2 east of Crookston
BEMIDJI, Minn. –The Minnesota Department of Transportation warns motorists to slow down when approaching the temporary crossover lanes on U.S. Highway 2 east of Crookston at the junction with Highway 9.
MnDOT has reduced the speed limit from 50 mph to 40 mph as a safety measure in the crossover area.
The crossover lanes shift westbound traffic to one of the eastbound Highway 2 lanes creating a two-way, two-lane highway for approximately 3,300 feet and then transition back to a divided four lane highway. The crossovers are necessary due to the collapse of a portion of Highway 2 near the Red Lake River embankment.
In addition to the crossovers, a center left turn lane is also in place at the intersection of Highway 2 and Highway 9 to accommodate westbound traffic turning south of Highway 9.
Motorists need to be extremely alert to slowing and turning traffic.
