Willmar, Minn. - Highway 22 improvements between Glencoe and Biscay will begin on Monday (August 16) and it will be necessary to detour traffic during construction, according to officials at the Minnesota Department of Transportation office in Hutchinson.

The detour route will be via McLeod County Roads 3 and 4. The detour route adds approximately 3.5 miles. Plans call for a bituminous overlay, culvert repair and extension, and turn lane construction beginning near Armstrong in Glencoe to the south limits of Biscay. Local access will be maintained throughout the project. Mn/DOT anticipates that the project will be completed in mid-November.

Bauerly Brothers, Inc., Sauk Rapids, Minn., is the prime contractor of the $1.8 million project.

Motorists are advised to watch for detour signs and use caution on the detour due to increased traffic and heavy equipment in the area.
