Roadwork
MnDOT will reconstruct 11 miles of Highway 210 road surface, replace/repair pipes and improve access on Highway 210 from the end of the four-lane in Brainerd to Ironton.
Detour through October
Hwy 210 is closed between Brainerd and Ironton through October. Detour uses Hwy 25 in Brainerd, Hwy 18 to Hwy 6 in Deerwood and Hwy 6/Hwy 210 in Crosby-Ironton. Detour map, PDF
Mini-roundabout in Deerwood
Motorists will encounter a temporary mini-roundabout at the east intersection of Hwy 6 and Hwy 210, just north of the railroad tracks, in Deerwood. Watch for trains, and stay off railroad tracks. When a train occurs, all traffic on both Hwy 6 and Hwy 210 will come to a complete stop at the roundabout.
Local access
Access to businesses and residences will be maintained and open, but expect some changes and gravel surfaces. Expect slow or stopped traffic, single-lane closures with use of flaggers and a pilot car. Seek the nearest route. Work area map for alternate locations, PDF
