Highway 89 construction near Wannaska begins July 6

Bemidji, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation will begin a resurfacing project July 6 on Highway 89 from the Marshall/Roseau county line to the north city limits of Wannaska. The project includes sidewalk upgrades in Wannaska and centerline culvert replacements throughout the corridor.

During construction, motorists will encounter a detour during the culvert replacement work. The detour will use Marshall County Roads 6 and 54, Beltrami County Road 1, and Roseau County Roads 9 and 4. It is expected to be in place for about two weeks in early to mid-July.

When complete, the project will provide a safer roadway, a longer-lasting driving surface, improved drainage, and better pedestrian accessibility. Construction is expected to be completed by late September.
