Hewitt, MN – On Thursday, August 14th, weather permitting, the Minnesota Department of Transportation will begin a project on Highway 210 between Highway 29 and Highway 71 near Hewitt to repair culverts and resurface the roadway.
Work will take place under traffic, and a detour will not be required. Drivers, however, should expect to encounter daily lane closures, flagging operations and a pilot car. The project is expected to be completed in mid-October.
Mark Sand & Gravel Company, based in Fergus Falls, is the prime contractor for the $4.8 million project.
