Traffic impacts
Construction begins August 3. Work includes resurfacing 17 miles of road, including shoulders and turn lanes, repairing drainage pipes and other road improvements.
The project will require a detour for through traffic on Highway 6 starting on Aug. 3 to allow replacement of 3 culvert pipes. The posted route is via Cty Rd 1 Emily, Co. Rd. 3 (Grove St.), Hwy 169 Waukenabo to Hwy 200 Hill City, back to Hwy 6 Remer. The current schedule for road work during the detour and replacing the culverts on Highway 6 is as follows:
- Replace culvert near mile post 40, about 2 miles north of Outing from August 13-14
There will be a full road closure at each culvert pipe. Local traffic will not be able to cross the culvert pipe and will need to take an alternative route. Exact dates may change depending upon how long construction takes at each pipe location. The detour route will be removed Aug. 14.
Motorists traveling along Highway 6 can expect flagging operations and a pilot car where repaving is occurring. Work will also occur at Cty Rd 7 to realign and improve access, but the intersection will remain open to traffic. Through traffic can follow the detour route to avoid traffic impacts. Paving is expected to last through late August.
Work is expected to be complete in September.
