Motorists will encounter traffic delays when resurfacing of Highway 41 from Highway 5 to Highway 7 begins July 13, according to a Minnesota Department of Transportation news release.

Highway 41 will remain open but there will be a flagging operation that will reduce traffic to a single lane. Work will begin on the northbound lanes.

Crews will work Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The resurfacing project will be completed by July 24, weather permitting.

Mn/DOT reminds motorists to slow down in work zones and never enter a roadway that has been blocked with barriers or cones.
