Highway 71 resurfacing began south of Wadena
Motorists traveling Highway 71 between Todd Line Road, south of Wadena and Todd County Rd 23 in Bertha, may encounter workers, heavy equipment and delays as the road is resurfaced began, July 25.
Segments of Highway 71 will be reduced to a single lane from sunrise to sunset through early August. Flaggers and a pilot car will control daily traffic through the work zone. Motorists approaching the work zone must slow down, be prepared to stop, obey the flaggers and use caution when following the pilot car through the work zone.
The project will provide a smoother road surface along eight miles of Hwy. 71 and extend the life of that stretch of road.
