MnDOT plans to resurface the 15 mile stretch of Highway 200 between Highway 371 and Highway 84. The project includes shoulder widening and the replacement of two box culverts at Bag Creek and Cedar Creek. Construction is scheduled to begin mid-May.

Highway 200 will be open to through traffic for most of the project. There will be a short-term detour during the box culvert installation portion of the project. Details on the project, including detour information is available on the project website.

Anderson Brothers is the prime contractor on the $10.6 million dollar project. All work is scheduled to be completed by the end of September, weather permitting.
