Beltrami County Sheriff's Department: Road construction updates

MnDOT crews are currently in the process of restricting the eastbound lane of Highway 10 between Staples and Motley (approximately one mile east of Lakewood Health System/hospital) to a single lane to allow crews to repair and concrete patch the roadway. The roadway will be restricted to a single lane overnight to allow for curing time for the concrete. This work is expected to be completed by mid-day, Tuesday October 11.
