Highway 92 culvert replacement at Badger Creek begins Aug. 31

Bemidji, Minn. – Crews will replace a box culvert on Highway 92 at Badger Creek beginning Aug. 31. The work is located about 2 miles east of Highway 32 near Red Lake Falls. Construction is expected to be completed in early October, weather permitting.

Highway 92 will be closed at Badger Creek during the project. Motorists should follow the detour on Red Lake County Roads 12 and 1, and Highway 32. Property owners will continue to have access to their homes and businesses.

The culvert is being replaced due to aging infrastructure.

All construction activities and traffic impacts are weather dependent and may change. MnDOT urges motorists to stay alert, slow down in work zones, and use caution when workers are present.
