BAXTER, Minn. - Motorists should plan for single lane closures on eastbound and westbound Highway 10 from south of Motley to south of Cushing in Morrison County as roadwork gets underway June 29.

Crews will apply a seal coat to the pavement surface that will extend the life of the 16-mile section of road.

Traffic will shift onto one lane through the work zone. Drivers are urged to slow down and be alert for heavy moving equipment and loose gravel on the roadway surface.

All work will be done during daylight hours.

Work operations will suspend over the Fourth of July weekend from noon on Thursday, July 2, until 9 a.m. on Monday, July 6 to accommodate motorists traveling during the holiday.

Crews will install permanent pavement markings in early July.

Astech Corp. of St. Joseph is the prime contractor for the $719,000 road preservation project to be complete by mid-July.
