BEMIDJI, Minn. - Motorists traveling through the Highway 2 and Highway 89 intersection near Bemidji will encounter a partial detour on Highway 89 beginning Monday, July 6 as the Highway 2 median is closed to traffic.

The partial detour includes all southbound Highway 89 traffic and eastbound Highway 2 motorists intending to drive north on Highway 89. Those motorists will be detoured on Beltrami County Road 515/Scribner Road NW. The detour will remain through the duration of the project, which is expected to be complete in October, weather permitting.

The detour will not affect motorists on westbound Highway 2 until the full closure of Highway 89, which is expected to take place in mid-august.
