Hwy 9 project in New London begins Sept. 6
Traffic will be detoured
WILLMAR, Minn. – Motorists will encounter a detour on Hwy 9 in New London from Hwy 23 to First Avenue North beginning Sept. 6.
The project includes resurfacing, installing accessible pedestrian ramps and replacing sidewalks.
Northbound traffic on Hwy 9 will be detoured east on Kandiyohi County 40, north on Kandiyohi County 9 and west on Second Avenue North. Motorists traveling south on Hwy 9 will be diverted through the project on Hwy 9.
When the project is completed, motorists will experience a smoother, safer road.
Duininck, Inc. was awarded the $456,000 project, which is scheduled for completion in early November 2011, weather permitting.
During construction and road maintenance work, MnDOT urges drivers to:
- Stay alert, expect the unexpected. Be patient.
- Never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.
- Plan ahead and expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
- Don’t use cell phones while driving.
- Remember text messaging while driving is illegal.
- Follow posted speed limits; fines double in work zones.
