UPDATE: Cool temperatures push Hwy 210 work to daylight hours

BAXTER, Minn.— Nighttime roadwork originally planned on Hwy 210 between Brainerd and Ironton has been rescheduled to take place during daylight hours due to cooler evening temperatures, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

MnDOT is applying a micro-surfacing treatment to renew the pavement surface and seal minor cracks, ruts and other irregularities. This process requires air temperatures to remain above 50 degrees.

Work will occur during off-peak hours between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. or 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., weather permitting. Motorists can expect alternating lane closures in both directions with flaggers and a pilot car. The resurfacing will be completed in segments, so expect the work area location to change and move.

Work is expected to continue through Saturday, Sept. 6, but may extend into the week of Sept. 8, depending on weather and progress.

After the initial resurfacing is complete, there will be a two-week pause to allow the new pavement to cure. Crews will return in late September to apply permanent striping and final pavement markings.

When complete, motorists will notice a smoother ride along this stretch of Hwy 210.
