ST. CLOUD, Minn. - Motorists will encounter intermittent lane closures and shifts and a short-term detour on Highway 95 between Davis Street and Isanti County Highway 2 beginning Monday, April 26, when a resurfacing project begins.

The project will require a two-week detour to allow turn lane and excavation at Isanti County Highway 2 on the east limits of the project. Motorists will follow a signed detour via Stark Road and Cedar Crest Trail.

Knife River Corporation of Sauk Rapids is the prime contractor for this $3.6 million road and accessibility improvement project. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of August, weather permitting.
